Servier Saudi Arabia, a branch of the international pharmaceutical company Servier, was facing a significant HR challenge. As part of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 initiative to decrease unemployment, Servier was tasked with localizing talent and hiring for pharmaceutical professions such as medical representatives and medical affair officers. The company aimed to hire the best graduates and intermediate-level talent to boost their talent development program and lead a successful transformation with the next generation of pharmaceutical professionals. However, the traditional hiring process was time-consuming, often taking months to hire for a single position. This slow process was hindering Servier's ability to meet their hiring targets and compete in Saudi Arabia's competitive talent market.

To address these challenges, Servier Saudi Arabia implemented the iCIMS Video Interview solution. This tool, which includes an on-demand video interview feature, was rolled out for their new hiring campaigns. The tool was made accessible to the HR manager, a sales representative, six district managers, and the Operations Director GCC. Candidates were given five days to record their interviews, significantly reducing the time to collect all interviews to a maximum of one month. Once shortlisted candidates were invited to face-to-face (mostly remote) interviews, the process could take less than a week. The record was three days to hire someone. This solution not only sped up the hiring process but also improved the company's employer branding by providing a seamless experience to candidates. Servier plans to further capitalize on the use of videos to communicate their internal culture.
