Case Study: Siemens reduces time to hire and boosts diversity with Arctic Shores

Siemens cuts hiring time to 41 days with Arctic Shores

Siemens, a global engineering and technology company, faced a critical challenge in filling long-vacant Project Engineer roles, with some positions open for over 200 days due to a low volume of applications and poor-quality candidates. To broaden their talent pool and improve diversity, Siemens partnered with vendor Arctic Shores to move away from traditional CV-centric hiring and implement a new skills-based recruitment process focused on hiring for potential.

Arctic Shores implemented its playbook for CV-less hiring, which included a task-based assessment to evaluate candidates on their competencies and transferable skills instead of their experience. This solution helped Siemens attract 542% more applications, achieve a 50:50 gender split in the final interview group, and fill the critical roles in just 41 days. The process also saved 30 days of recruiters' time and was very well-received by candidates, with a 91% assessment completion rate.
