The challenge
Orica’s earlier graduate program moved candidates through several separate stages and tools, demanding time and effort from both candidates and the talent acquisition team. Talent Acquisition Lead Samantha Billing wanted a simpler process that still identified the strongest, most motivated candidates while leaving a positive impression.
The approach
Orica consolidated its online evaluation steps into the Vervoe platform, built in just two weeks before launch. Candidates start with a promotional video from Orica’s team, complete a holistic Talent Trial assessing skills, logic, and values, then record a series of video responses telling their story, across three streams: manufacturing, regional mining, and technology.
The results
- An average of 86% of candidates completed the online process across all three streams
- Combining stages into one Talent Trial helped Orica identify top candidates faster, created a simpler and more engaging experience, and reduced costs
- Orica can now choose from a pool of validated, enthusiastic candidates
It is the most dynamic online interview I’ve ever seen. The tests required total engagement and thought, and were a clear demonstration of what makes Orica different from any other company.
