How Livestorm cut its time-to-hire from 60 to 25 days with Tellent Recruitee

Livestorm, a fast-growing French startup behind a widely used webinar and video engagement platform, needed a recruiting process that could scale with it.

The team was relying on a tool never designed for hiring, and worried that fixing that might come at the cost of the personal, human experience candidates had come to expect.

Here's how Tellent Recruitee helped Livestorm cut its time to hire by more than half, without losing that human touch.

Goals at a glance

• Replace Notion, an ad hoc tool never designed for recruiting, with a purpose-built ATS
• Structure and industrialize hiring to keep pace with Livestorm's fast growth
• Cut time to hire in a persistently tight talent market
• Keep the recruiting process collaborative and human, not just faster

The challenge: no tool built for hiring

Livestorm provides a webinar and video engagement platform used by small, mid-sized, and enterprise customers for internal and external training, product demos, and marketing campaigns.

As the company scaled, its People team needed a process that kept up — without compromising quality or the candidate experience.

That tool turned out to be Notion — useful for many things, but not built for hiring.

Candidates, meanwhile, expected a fast, frictionless process in a persistently tight job market. Any friction risked losing strong candidates to competitors. The goal was clear: industrialize recruiting while preserving an excellent, human candidate experience.

The solution: an intuitive, flexible ATS that covers the full funnel

Livestorm evaluated several providers before choosing Tellent Recruitee. What stood out was the balance of simplicity, ease of adoption, and price.

A few features made the biggest difference for the team day to day:

• Career site: a fully customized careers page became the main source of applications: 90% of Livestorm's candidates now apply directly through it.
• Screening Questions: automated pre-screening dramatically cut the time spent sorting through CVs.
• Candidate evaluation: structured, built-in evaluation tools help reduce bias and keep assessments focused on the skills that actually matter for each role.
• Collaborative hiring: hiring managers are directly involved: they can view applications, leave feedback, and take part in decisions rather than waiting on HR.
  

That collaborative layer enabled the People team to keep a full overview of the pipeline while delegating parts of the process to hiring managers, making recruiting a shared effort rather than a bottleneck.

The results: faster hiring, without losing the human touch

Since adopting Tellent Recruitee, Livestorm has seen fast, measurable improvements across its recruiting process.

Key results at a glance

• Time-to-hire cut from 60 to 25 days
• Candidates get a response — positive or negative — in 2 days on average
• Marie-Agnès personally gains back roughly one day per week
• 90% of applications now come in through the customized career site
• Detailed reporting gives the team ongoing visibility into recruiting performance

Faster response times haven't come at the cost of care. Every candidate, whether they move forward or not, hears back within two days on average — a level of responsiveness that keeps the candidate experience strong even as volume grows.

Looking ahead

For Livestorm, adopting Tellent Recruitee wasn't just about speeding up hiring; it was about building a recruiting process that could scale with the company without losing what made it work in the first place: a genuinely human candidate experience.

For other fast-growing teams weighing the same trade-off, Marie-Agnès has a simple recommendation:
