Case Study: PDS Technical Services reduces workers’ compensation costs with PSI True Talent

PDS Technical Services - Customer Case Study

PDS Technical Services, a nationwide specialty recruiting firm with 31 offices, needed a way to reduce workers’ compensation claims and costs by better screening applicants before hire. Looking for a pre-employment assessment solution, PDS partnered with PSI True Talent to identify the right testing approach for its technical workforce.

PSI True Talent worked with PDS Technical Services to create an assessment focused on productivity and safety, along with a custom candidate report and separate versions for new hires and rehires. The result was a major impact: workers’ compensation claims dropped from 115 to 18 per year, reducing costs by more than $450,000 annually, while pre-employment screening filtered out 20% of higher-risk candidates.
