Case Study: Cornerstone improves culture-based hiring with Mathison

How Cornerstone engaged the entire org to drive DEI improvements

Cornerstone worked with Mathison to improve its People, Workforce, and Development efforts and create more consistent, measurable progress. Although the team had long focused on these priorities, it lacked a clear baseline and a way to quantify impact or engage the broader organization in the work.

Using Mathison’s Opportunity Index, Cornerstone assessed its hiring process, identified bias, and built a more inclusive hiring strategy with a data-driven benchmark for tracking progress. The results included engaging 300+ new team members in these efforts, sourcing 1,600 top-of-funnel candidates, and driving a 47% improvement in culture-based hiring processes, while also helping the company broaden its metrics for success beyond representation alone.
