Case Study: Leading Home Appliance Brand Company standardizes global software engineer hiring and boosts shortlisted talent quality by 40% with SHL

Streamlined hiring process using AI-powered coding simulation assessment

Leading Home Appliance Brand Company, a global home appliances and automation leader with 30,000+ employees and 19 international subsidiaries, needed to standardize and modernize its software developer hiring process. Their in-house evaluation and proprietary question bank had become operationally challenging and expensive, so they partnered with SHL to deploy Automata, an AI-powered coding simulation assessment.

SHL rolled out Automata across all 19 subsidiaries, providing a curated, continuously updated question bank, an intuitive IDE supporting 40+ languages, AI grading that handles minor errors and uncompiled code, and robust proctoring. The solution standardized evaluations, improved the quality of shortlisted candidates by 40%, and saved approximately 1,000 man-hours by replacing the client’s prior question-bank maintenance.
