Case Study: Markit Holding AS achieves rapid hiring of two star sales reps from 216 applicants with Vervoe

How Markit chose two star sales reps from 216 candidates

Markit Holding AS, a European eCommerce company that simplifies purchasing IT products, needed to expand its Italian sales team but had no local HR support and little time to screen candidates. Italy country manager Giorgio Luciani wanted a way to assess both technical account-management skills and the psychological fit for a remote, ethics-driven culture, without manually reviewing résumés or conducting first-round interviews. He chose Vervoe and its combined job simulation to run the initial screening.

Using Vervoe’s platform and simulation, Giorgio tested 216 LinkedIn applicants for attitude and technical ability and instantly identified the strongest performers. The Vervoe assessment made it clear who to interview, allowing him to hire two star sales reps (rather than the single hire he’d planned) and dramatically reduce the time spent on candidate screening.
