Case Study: Leading Manufacturing Company achieves 62% improvement in hiring success (to an 81% hire rate) with Athena Assessment

Leading Manufacturing Company - Customer Case Study

Leading Manufacturing Company, a 5,000-employee organization in the Southeastern United States, faced persistent challenges improving hiring outcomes and wanted to quantify the impact of enhanced screening methods. They partnered with Athena Assessment and trialed pre-employment testing using the Athena Quotient (AQ) alongside more rigorous interview and background-check processes.

Athena Assessment implemented AQ into the hiring workflow in addition to improved interviewing and comprehensive checks; the study’s chart shows stepwise gains—11% from improved interviews, 35% with a comprehensive process, and a 62% improvement when AQ was added. Athena Assessment’s solution delivered the largest measurable uplift, which the study reports corresponded to roughly an 81% hiring success rate.
