A Business Services software company improved the efficiency of the candidate selection process by 70%

This company was experiencing exponential growth, leading to an influx of candidates 9 times greater than they has previously had. Managing this surge in applicants posed a significant challenge as it would require extensive time and resources for short listing and interviews. 

The Prevue Assessment was implemented before recruitment to predict how candidates would perform on the job. The following Job-Fit reporting features were significant to their recruitment and selection process.

Customized Benchmarks

Insights from top-performer studies, along with input from the hiring team, ensured the creation of custom job benchmarks aligned with the abilities and characteristics desired in candidates.

Job Suitability Score

Establishing a 70% threshold to identify strong-fit candidates streamlined the selection process, reduced involuntary turnover, and resulted in increased overall productivity.

The Results

Streamlined Candidate Selection

By utilising the Prevue Assessment, the recruitment team confidently managed a large applicant pool and eased the workload on employees. They reduced the average screening time to just 1 to 2 minutes per candidate.

Faster Recruitment Process

The processing time for candidates decreased significantly from 50 days to an impressive 15 days — a remarkable 70% reduction. This increased efficiency enabling top talent to be identified promptly and engage with all candidates within two weeks.

Low Turnover Maintenance

Despite a 30% company growth, the quality of candidates and new recruits improved noticeably, leading to enhanced retention. The company successfully maintained a low 15% turnover rate – well below industry standards.

“Prevue is an essential part of our hiring. I can’t do my job without it. It saves us time and resources, while ensuring we find the best fit for our company”
