Ferguson modernizes campus hiring with on-demand interviews and automated scheduling via HireVue
Ferguson's lean campus recruiting team faced a surge to triple the previous applicant volume, leaving recruiters unable to process candidates fast enough using their existing phone-interview-heavy approach.

Tools used
Modern HireHireVue
Outcome
Ferguson now handles about triple the candidate volume, has doubled the number of phone interviews conducted with qualified candidates, and significantly reduced recruiter time spent on interview scheduling.
What failed first
The previous approach of lenient screening followed by phone interviews with a large pool of applicants each semester could not scale when applicant volume tripled.
