CHICAGO (December 16, 2024) – Vi, a leading national developer, owner and operator of 10 upscale continuing care retirement communities across the nation, has been recognized as the winner of The TalentFusion Best Careers Website from the 2024 TIARA Talent Solutions Awards U.S. This award recognizes the most effective, engaging and candidate-friendly Careers Website and its impact on talent acquisition.

Judges praised Vi Senior Living for its creative and user-centric website, which includes personalized content, mobile-first optimization, and seamless ATS integration. These features significantly enhanced the candidate experience, resulting in increased application rates and improved hiring efficiency.

This accolade was due to Vi Living implementing a single vendor recruiting system, ATS (iCIMS), in September 2023 and rebuilding the Career website with refreshed branding in June 2024. Notable enhancements included employer brand storytelling, personalized user experience, custom iconography, rich media integration, values-centric messaging, and alignment with Vi’s brand guidelines.

Vi was additionally able to improve effectiveness in increasing qualified applicant volume and enhanced diversity hiring, achieve strategic goals of faster time-to-fill and talent pipeline expansion, improve brand value by strengthening the employer brand and higher application conversion rates, and made an impact through seamless and intuitive application process, personalized engagement, and enhanced mobile experience.

“We are delighted to receive the TalentFusion Best Careers Website award, as it underscores Vi’s unwavering dedication to innovation and excellence in talent acquisition,” said Gary Smith, Vi’s President and CEO. “Our refreshed career site reflects our commitment to creating a seamless and engaging experience for candidates while strengthening our employer brand and fostering a diverse, talented workforce. This recognition reaffirms our mission to be an industry leader, not just in senior living, but also as an exceptional company to build one’s career.”

The success of Vi’s careers site, along with improvements in onboarding, benefits, and employee development over the past year, has resulted in a 47% increase in the number of completed applications and a decrease in the time it takes to complete the application by over 12 minutes.
