Case Study: New Belgium Brewing achieves faster hiring and better cultural fit with Cornerstone OnDemand

Engaging the Right Job Candidates

New Belgium Brewing is a nationally recognized craft brewer known for its high‑involvement culture and benefits. Rapid growth—adding a second brewery in Asheville and expanding its sales force—meant recruiters had to screen 200–300 applicants per opening, assess both skills and cultural fit, and shorten time‑to‑hire.

By adopting Cornerstone Recruiting, New Belgium implemented a configurable, integrated system (linked with Learning, Connect and Performance) to build talent pools, custom career sites and streamline referrals. The platform enabled collaborative, remote-friendly hiring and faster identification of skill‑and‑culture matches, reducing time to hire and better supporting the company’s expansion.
