Case Study: LearnWell achieves stronger hiring and higher profit with Topgrading

LearnWell - Customer Case Study

LearnWell, a for-profit non-traditional education provider serving school-aged patients in behavioral health hospitals, eating disorder programs, addiction treatment centers, medical hospitals, and homebound programs, needed a better way to hire teachers for an extremely demanding role. Their process was time-consuming and difficult to scale, with 50 resumes often requiring 50 phone calls just to explain the job before screening candidates further.

Topgrading helped LearnWell tighten its hiring process with the Snapshot, Career History Form, phone screens, and Tandem Topgrading Interviews, followed by structured onboarding and coaching for new hires. The results were strong: A Player teachers hired increased from 12% to 76%, A Players in corporate staff rose from 23% to 76%, and LearnWell saved 15-20 hours per recruiting cycle. With more effective teams, the company also increased billable hours, added more hospitals, and improved annual profit margin by 5%.
