A Topgrading Case Study
Corwin Beverage Company, a fourth-generation beverage delivery business in Southwest Washington, needed to fill a key role in 2009 with no internal candidates promotable to the position. Facing a recession and more than 1,000 resumes per job posting, the company turned to Topgrading after its HR manager attended a Topgrading workshop.
Topgrading’s Snapshot, Career History Form, and interview process helped Corwin quickly narrow the candidate pool and hire stronger talent. After implementing Topgrading, Corwin increased A Players in non-entry level roles from 33% to 92% and overall high performers from 21% to 59%, while also seeing increased revenue and profits despite the down economy.
