Case Study: The Avon Company achieves a 50% reduction in time-to-hire with eSkill

How The Avon Company Used Pre-Employment Tests to Cut Hiring Time in Half

Avon USA, a global distributor of beauty products that relies on a large support organization and distributor network, needed a more efficient way to screen candidates. Their previous assessment vendor was changing platforms and raising prices, and hiring typically took four weeks; the team wanted customizable, role-specific pre-employment tests to speed hiring while improving quality.

Avon selected the eSkill Talent Assessment Platform for its pricing, intuitive interface, and test customization. The team rolled out role-specific assessments (e.g., communication, email etiquette, Excel for clerks) almost immediately; time-to-hire fell from four weeks to two, 50–65% of applicants are screened out early, candidate testing time dropped from three hours to 45 minutes, and the tool has also aided internal promotions and improved retention.
