Case Study: Molson Coors accelerates inclusive hiring and boosts applications with Arctic Shores

Molson Coors boosts applications 75% with Arctic Shores

Molson Coors, a major beverage company, sought to pioneer new inclusive hiring methods to accelerate its DEI mission after implementing standard approaches like bias workshops and blind CVs. The challenge, led by Head of Talent Acquisition Joe Sidley, was to break new ground and find a more equitable way to hire based on potential rather than past experience. To achieve this, they partnered with the vendor Arctic Shores.

Arctic Shores provided a task-based psychometric test to replace CVs, enabling a skills-based hiring approach. The solution was implemented through a carefully managed pilot program that included educating hiring managers and aligning the initiative with the company's core values. The results were significant: a 100% increase in applications, 75% female representation at the interview stage, and 80% candidate satisfaction. This successful pilot proved to Molson Coors that Arctic Shores' method effectively broadened their talent pool and led to high-quality hires, prompting a wider rollout of the approach across the organization.
