Hershey Entertainment
& Resorts: Allowing
Candidates to Tell Their
Stories With One-Way
Video Interviewing

THE CLIENT

Hershey Entertainment & Resorts (HE&R) is a privately held company founded in 1927 after Milton S. Hershey separated his chocolate manufacturing operations from other business categories under the Hershey name. HE&R manages and operates entertainment, resorts, spas, and restaurants including Hersheypark and The Hotel Hershey, and MeltSpa by Hershey. The company’s team members live by its Core Values:

• Devoted to Legacy: Acting in a manner that reflects the dedication and integrity of its founder, Milton S. Hershey.
• The Selfless Spirit of Service: Serving its employees and their families, guests, community, and environment.
• Team Focused: Supporting one another while working toward common goals and earning each other’s trust.
• Respectful of Others: Treating all people with dignity, while respecting their differences and ideas.

CLIENT CHALLENGE

• HE&R needed a tool that would promote efficiency in the process of interviewing and referring candidates.
• The tool needed to improve the candidate experience by allowing candidates to more effectively present themselves.
• Finally, the HE&R team needed additional control over sharing talent across the company and passing qualified candidates to hiring managers for high volume roles.

CLIENT RESULTS

HE&R began using interviewstream in 2016 and has since integrated on demand one way video interviewing into their applicant tracking system. Originally using interviewstream for college recruitment and internships, Hershey Entertainment & Resorts has expanded their use of on demand video interviewing to include select management and professional roles.
