The Challenge
Hydro One’s early career programs, including its two-year New Grad Training Program and co-op placements, drew thousands of applications each cycle. The recruitment team struggled to quickly identify candidates with the right behavioural and soft skills while maintaining fairness, consistency, and engagement across multiple hiring campaigns.
The Solution
Over a year-long engagement spanning three major hiring campaigns, Hydro One leveraged Knockri’s AI-powered behavioural assessment platform to efficiently and fairly evaluate over 15,000 candidates across more than 100 positions. The solution delivered structured, bias-reduced interviews tailored to Hydro One’s safety-critical and collaborative work environments, enabling scalable, data-backed hiring decisions.
