Case Study: Chemonics International achieves a 43% turnover decrease with eSkill pre-employment assessments

Pre-Employment Assessments Created a 43% Turnover Decrease

Chemonics, a multinational development firm working across sectors and countries, struggled with a disjointed hiring process: varied role requirements meant baseline skills weren’t assessed uniformly, internal applicants weren’t screened consistently, and the company experienced high turnover—particularly for entry-level communications, editing and data analytics roles.

By implementing the eSkill Talent Assessment Platform for editing, writing, data visualization and Excel tests—using a customizable question bank and anonymous team scoring—Chemonics standardized assessments, reduced bias, sped up screening and improved candidate quality, cutting turnover by 43% and bringing time-to-hire down to 55 days (with a target of 45 days).
