wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the business<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thermosash.co.nz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Thermosash Commercial Limited<\/a> is one of New Zealand\u2019s largest specialists in the design, manufacture and installation of curtain wall systems and glass fa\u00e7ades. Operating across Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, the Group employs more than 550 people in roles ranging from design and manufacturing through to on-site installation. Its teams support the delivery of both major high-rise developments and smaller-scale construction projects, working with property developers, government organisations, public-private partnerships and private sector architects, designers and engineers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">With a workforce of this scale and diversity, recruitment is essential to keeping the business moving. The HR team manages hiring across multiple business units and across a broad mix of roles, each with different levels of complexity and recruitment demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/craig-gillett-6611504\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Craig Gillett<\/a> leads recruitment as Group General Manager \u2013 People and Capability. Alongside one other team member, he oversees hiring across the entire organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Before using 91爆料\u2019s Recruitment Agent, Thermosash\u2019s previous recruitment was extensive. It involved an initial review, phone screening, coordination of the first face-to-face interview, shortlisting following that interview, arrangement of the second-stage interview, score review, reference checking and briefing Hiring Managers. Even then, there was still a further round of candidate review and final shortlisting to complete.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-19 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:3px;border-top-style:none;border-top-width:0px;border-right-style:none;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-style:none;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-color:#7622D7;border-left-width:3px;padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--4)\">\n<p class=\"case-study-quote has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><em>\u201cThe previous recruitment process could take around 10 hours per week per candidate just to progress a candidate through to the second interview stage\u201d.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><br>At the same time, increasing application volumes were making it harder to identify top candidates at speed. Written screening responses were also becoming less dependable, as applicants increasingly used AI tools to produce polished CVs and refined answers, reducing visibility of genuine capability in the early stages of recruitment. This created a clear need for a faster and more reliable screening approach, enabling the People and Capability team to focus their time on the quality assessment and evaluation of the best candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">To streamline hiring, Thermosash introduced 91爆料\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/products\/recruitment-agent\/\">Recruitment Agent<\/a>, adding an automated video interview stage to the early screening process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">After completing the application and screening questions, shortlisted candidates are invited to complete a customised video interview. This gives the team an early opportunity to assess motivational, behavioural, situational and role-specific responses and has largely replaced traditional first-round interviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-20 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:3px;border-top-style:none;border-top-width:0px;border-right-style:none;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-style:none;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-color:#7622D7;border-left-width:3px;padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--4)\">\n<p class=\"case-study-quote has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><em>\u201cIt used to take us a week to process and screen a single applicant. Now we can review 10 candidates in under 20 minutes.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Candidates record responses to tailored interview questions designed specifically for the role. Instead of spending time coordinating multiple live interviews, Craig, his team and the Hiring Manager can review candidate responses simultaneously and independently, allowing for a more efficient and flexible assessment process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">This approach makes it easier to revisit key answers, compare multiple candidates quickly and bring structured evaluation much earlier into the recruitment process. It reduces administration, improves speed and allows the team to focus more of their time on high quality applicants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-21 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:3px;border-top-style:none;border-top-width:0px;border-right-style:none;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-style:none;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-color:#7622D7;border-left-width:3px;padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--4)\">\n<p class=\"case-study-quote has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><em>\u201cBy condensing scheduling, interviewing and note-taking into one workflow, I can make quality assessments in under 30 seconds, freeing up more time to focus on quality shortlisting, face-to-face interviews, candidate assessment and final selection.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">By the time candidates move to a formal face-to-face interview, the Hiring Manager and recruitment team already have stronger insight into capability, fit and alignment to the role. This means the final interview can be more targeted, more informed and more effective. The impact on screening speed has been dramatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-22 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:3px;border-top-style:none;border-top-width:0px;border-right-style:none;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-style:none;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-color:#7622D7;border-left-width:3px;padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--4)\">\n<p class=\"case-study-quote has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><em>\u201cVideo responses provide a more authentic way to evaluate candidates compared to written answers alone, while naturally filtering out applicants who are less confident in their suitability for the role.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The ROI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">The Recruitment Agent has significantly improved how the HR team screens candidates and manages hiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Up to 95% faster screening<\/strong>: From up to one week to process and screen a single applicant to reviewing 10 candidates in under twenty minutes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Under 30-second initial candidate assessment<\/strong>: Quickly evaluate video responses and identify top talent faster<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Major reduction in recruitment admin<\/strong>: Screening, interview coordination and note-taking consolidated into a single workflow<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Supported growth without adding headcount:<\/strong> Enabling a two-person team to manage recruitment across a workforce of more than 550 employees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-23 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:3px;border-top-style:none;border-top-width:0px;border-right-style:none;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-style:none;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-color:#7622D7;border-left-width:3px;padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--4)\">\n<p class=\"case-study-quote has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><em>\u201cIt has delivered a significant time saving, but more importantly, the Recruitment Agent has enabled me to run the recruitment function on a cost-neutral basis.
