Case Study: GE Renewable Energy reduces time-to-hire and hires over 70% of applicants with eSkill Talent Assessment Platform

GE Renewable Energy Uses Customized Skills Tests to Qualify Technical Candidates

GE Renewable Energy, a $15 billion business with about 40,000 employees and more than 400 GW of deployed renewable capacity, needed to rapidly staff a large number of Wind Technology Specialist roles as its projects expanded. The company required a faster, more effective way to screen applicants and deliver technical training so new hires could be field-ready quickly.

GE used the eSkill Talent Assessment Platform to build customized technical assessments from a question library, add proprietary content, and integrate tests and training with its ATS for a single recruiting, hiring, and training workflow. The solution improved recruiter efficiency and candidate experience, reduced time-to-hire, and resulted in over 70% of applicants passing the skills test and being hired for Wind Technology Specialist positions, with many others placed in different roles.
