Case Study: Earnest saves time and cuts analytics costs with Knoetic | CPOHQ

How Earnest's Chief People Officer makes data-informed decisions without full-time data analyst

Earnest, a fintech company focused on making higher education more accessible through low-interest loans and refinancing, needed a better way to get real-time workforce insights as it grew to 250+ employees. Chief People Officer Victoria Hughes was stuck compiling reports manually across five different systems, and her HRIS only provided raw downloads—making it difficult to spot trends or maintain a clear pulse on workforce health. Knoetic | CPOHQ’s people analytics platform was brought in to solve this challenge.

With Knoetic | CPOHQ, Earnest integrated thousands of data points and immediately gained access to out-of-the-box reports, visual dashboards, filters, and tooltips that made analytics fast and easy to understand. Victoria said reporting that once took up to 8 hours a week now takes about 2 hours or less, saving significant time while reducing the need for a full-time analyst and delivering cost-saving benefits through Knoetic | CPOHQ’s built-in analytics.
