Regeneron replaces phone screens with on-demand video interviews to scale intern hiring

The problem

Regeneron's first-round phone interview process was severely bottlenecked and could not keep pace with growing applicant demand from STEM and life sciences students, while also failing to efficiently assess culture fit and skills at scale.

Recruiter video review

“sometimes you know within minutes of starting the video review that the candidate is either a great fit or they aren't. Eliminating phone interviews for our first round interviews has saved us valuable manhours we're now using to engage …”

Hiring mentor video review

human_review

“They love watching the videos – they feel like they've been introduced to the student and they can sense culture fit. They're engaging with the students that they want to engage with for their final round interview”

Live video final round

output

“many of those are completed using Modern Hire's (now part of HireVue) live video interviewing”

Reported outcome

Regeneron can now interview thousands and hire hundreds of students in the time it previously took to hire 80 to 100, with no increase in team headcount, while expanding its student programs and improving early culture fit evaluation.
