Prince George’s County Government cuts applicant pools by 30% with eSkill

Prince George’s County Government faced a massive influx of applicants for high-volume public sector roles like administrative aides and 911 dispatchers, receiving up to 700 applications per position. The challenge was to efficiently and thoroughly screen these large candidate pools to identify qualified and genuinely interested individuals. To address this, the county partnered with eSkill to implement its pre-employment skills testing platform.

The solution involved deploying customized online tests through eSkill, which integrated seamlessly with their existing NEOGOV HR platform. This digitized process eliminated the logistical burdens and costs of in-person testing while allowing candidates to test on their own time. As a result, eSkill helped the county reduce its applicant pools by at least 30%, either through candidates failing the exam or opting out, leading to significant time and resource savings.
