Case Study: DigiKey Electronics achieves fewer costly hiring mistakes and reduced turnover with eSkill

Sales Aptitude Tests Reduce Costly Hiring Mistakes For Distribution Company

DigiKey Electronics, a fast-growing electronic component distributor with over 2.7 million products and partnerships with more than 2,400 suppliers, depends on fast, accurate team performance across sales, fulfillment and administration. Relying on interviews alone led to costly hiring mistakes and left management unsure how to identify and promote top internal talent.

DigiKey implemented the eSkill Talent Assessment Platform to create customized pre-employment and sales aptitude tests, which integrated smoothly into their hiring process. Since rollout, turnover has fallen by 3%, hiring mistakes have decreased, internal promotions and morale have improved, and the company plans to expand assessments into customer service and behavioral hiring.
