Sonru are a great company, and have plenty of awards and big clients to prove it, but I think this ranks as my favourite bit of news from them since we started working together 2 years ago – Over the weekend they announced that CERN, the birthplace of the web, are now using their video interview platform to interview candidates across the world for positions.

We are really proud to have something we helped to produce being used in such an important institution, especially when the feedback is like this (from James Purvis, Head of Recruitment, Programmes & Monitoring Group at CERN):

“The Master Class provided a convincing insight into the possibilities Sonru’s video interviewing tool could provide to reduce recruitment delays and costs.’‘ Mr Purvis continued: “We initially trialled the product on one particular post and used it to screen candidates in Greece, Canada, France, Switzerland and the U.K. Since then, we’ve made the decision to use Sonru on any post in CERN where communication / interpersonal skills are an important requirement. Additionally the system accommodated CERN’s two official languages – English and French. With a 100% response rate and absolutely no negative feedback from candidates and huge buy-in from the hiring team, Sonru is certainly the way forward for CERN.”

Ah stop it, you’re making us blush.
