Case Study: The Town of Okotoks achieves faster, data-backed hiring and top candidate selection with eSkill

The Town of Okotoks Uses eSkill’s Computer Skills Tests and Other Employment Assessments to Hire Top Candidates

The Town of Okotoks, Alberta, a rapidly growing municipality south of Calgary, faced rising staffing needs across IT, HR, parks, utilities and more, producing large applicant pools that left hiring managers spending excessive time on screening rather than on top candidates. They needed reliable, job‑relevant assessments—especially computer skills and customer‑service measures—to efficiently triage applicants and make defensible hiring decisions.

Okotoks implemented eSkill’s customizable online assessments and realistic simulations, which integrated easily with their systems and required no ramp‑up support. Recruiters now receive clear, easy‑to‑interpret results that reveal candidate strengths and training gaps, enabling faster, better hires, more productive onboarding, reduced turnover, and improved legal compliance.
