Case Study: Borsheims Fine Jewelry achieves streamlined, higher-quality hiring with Corvirtus

Identifying quality sales associates

Borsheims Fine Jewelry, a 250-employee retail jeweler based in Omaha, faced a wholly paper-based hiring process in 2008 and needed a way to identify higher-quality sales candidates. They engaged Corvirtus to provide pre-hire assessments—initially for sales roles—to better screen for drive, empathy, customer service skills, and follow-through.

Corvirtus delivered hospitality- and service-focused assessments, conducted a Validation Study to tie specific assessments to on-the-job performance, and customized communications and branding to match Borsheims’ process. As a result, Corvirtus’ assessments now screen hourly, management, and corporate roles, helping Borsheims focus on top candidates, weed out poor fits, and save time and money while streamlining hiring.
