How Holcim predict candidate success at speed and scale

The Holcim Group is a Swiss multinational company and the largest global manufacturer of building materials. It has a presence in 60 countries, employs around 60,000 employees, and has revenues of $30 billion. With more than 3000 hires per year just in Europe, Holcim was looking for a better way to manage volume hiring. They also had a skills gap and were looking to create a pipeline of talent based on the competencies proven to predict job success, comparing both internal and external talent and boosting internal mobility.

Using HireVue’s AI-scored Video Interview and Games Based Assessments, Holcim has been able to:

• Increase hiring speed by 89% and assess 9X more candidates
• 74% of candidates shortlisted by HireVue align with those verified by external consultants using a 6 hour live assessment
• Increase diversity with 60% of candidates recommended now being non-local
• Candidates scoring 66% (higher tier) on HireVue progress furthest in the interview process
• Automatically disposition 60% of candidates who are not suitable, leaving Holcim with tiered candidate groupings based on the skills, motivations and values that are proven to predict job success
