Case Study: Automation-X achieves 92% A-Player hiring success with Topgrading

Automation-X - Customer Case Study

Automation-X, an oil and energy supplier of solar panels, wind turbines, and pipe fittings, struggled with traditional hiring methods that produced high performers only 20% of the time and retained just 20% of those hires. As the company aimed to grow market share and become a stronger competitor, its difficulty hiring and keeping high-quality employees made scaling difficult. Topgrading helped Automation-X improve its hiring process, including tools like the Prescreen Snapshot and Topgrading interviews.

With guidance from Topgrading, Automation-X built job scorecards, screened candidates more efficiently, and refined its interviewing and reference-checking process. Hiring success rose from 20% to 76% within a year and then to 92%, while the Prescreen Snapshot saved about 16 hours per open role. Topgrading also helped the company build a more productive, smaller team, improve morale, and support rapid growth, with Automation-X reporting it is on track toward 70% annual growth and gaining market share.
