Case Study: Motionstrand achieves 72% reduction in recruiting costs and scalable, efficient hiring with The Predictive Index

How a streamlined hiring process saved Motionstrand half a million annually

Motionstrand, a full-service digital agency, entered rapid growth in 2016 and discovered its hiring process was inefficient and costly—managers were losing an estimated $167 hourly, pre-interview costs ran $7K–$15K per candidate, and group interviews wasted manager time. To address this, Motionstrand selected The Predictive Index and its behavioral assessments as a data-driven way to streamline recruiting and improve team fit.

Motionstrand first piloted The Predictive Index internally to improve communication and then integrated PI into hiring and talent management. The result: resume review time fell by two-thirds, recruiting costs per candidate dropped 72% (saving more than $50K annually), and managers gained clearer insight into team alignment and performance—uses that now extend into finance reviews, manager coaching, and vendor/recruiter selection.
