Case Study: Hood Industries improves utility employee selection and retention with Hogan Assessments

Hood Industries - Customer Case Study

Hood Industries, a wood manufacturer and distributor, worked with Hogan Assessments to improve its selection process for utility employees. The company needed a better way to identify candidates who would succeed in entry-level operations and manufacturing floor support roles.

Hogan Assessments built a custom screening tool using the Hogan Personality Inventory, Hogan Development Survey, and Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory to assess the traits most linked to success. The solution improved selection accuracy by 35%, helped Hood Industries select 17.5% more good hires and avoid 17.5% more bad hires, and contributed to an 89% retention rate for direct-hire candidates at one plywood facility, leading the company to expand use of the Hogan profile to other facilities and business lines.
