Case Study: Global Non-Profit Agency achieves a 40% reduction in time-to-hire with eSkill Talent Assessment Platform

Global Non-Profit Agency Reduces Time-to-Hire By 40% With Skills Testing

A global non-profit that protects the rights of refugees and displaced people—with over 120 offices and nearly 20,000 employees—faced lengthy, face-to-face recruitment processes coordinated from its European office. Many applicants in remote or unstable locations could not travel to assessment centers or were reluctant to use webcam proctoring, causing the agency to miss qualified candidates and struggle to decrease screening time, reduce hiring mistakes, and identify promotable staff.

The agency deployed the eSkill Talent Assessment Platform™ (starting with a one-year Premium Subscription and later extending deployment) with online proctoring, using the eSkill Assessment Library, eSkill Author, and support from an eSkill Assessment Expert. Implementation was quick; tests combine multiple choice, essays and simulations, and results are shared internally via Excel, Access and SharePoint. Time-to-hire fell from a month or more to about 10 days (a 40%+ reduction when accounting for a one-week test-prep period), candidate feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and sister agencies have expressed interest.
