Case Study: The Orvis Company cuts hiring time by 50% with eSkill

The Orvis Company cuts hiring time by 50% with eSkill

The Orvis Company, a major retailer specializing in outdoor and lifestyle products, faced a significant challenge in efficiently staffing for its peak season. Their hiring process was hindered by manual, non-integrated canned tests that were not relevant to the roles and were incompatible with their Oracle Taleo system. This created a time-consuming bottleneck and resulted in a poor candidate experience.

By partnering with eSkill and integrating its online pre-employment assessments with Taleo, Orvis streamlined its recruiting workflow. The solution replaced generic tests with customized, skills-based evaluations. This implementation by eSkill resulted in a 50% reduction in time-to-hire, a greatly improved quality of hire, and eliminated the need for manual follow-ups, receiving 100% positive feedback from both managers and applicants.
