Over the past decade, Sonru has established a legacy as a talent acquisition 
technology leader within Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific. Its video 
interviewing solution maximises the candidate experience and enables recruiters 
to replicate a live interview by replacing early-stage phone, Skype or 
face-to-face interviews. This cuts early stage screening time, freeing up 
recruiters to focus on more strategic tasks and ensuring consistency, fairness 
and the application of best practices. Sonru's technology reduces recruitment 
lifecycle time and costs by 50 percent. Its customers come from a wide variety 
of industry, including several Fortune Global 500 companies such as DHL, 
Nestlé, Qatar Airways, Rolls-Royce, UBS and Westpac. 

According to Gartner, "Application leaders in EMEA-headquartered organizations 
supporting HCM technology transformation should: accelerate their journey 
toward cloud HCM applications by evaluating their HCM technology portfolio and 
strategy, with a focus on vendor innovation and user experience capabilities."1
