Case Study: ConMed Linvatec reduces turnover by 19% and saves $300,000 with Wonderlic Personal Characteristics Inventory

ConMed Linvatec - Customer Case Study

ConMed Linvatec, a Largo, Florida–based medical manufacturer with about 1,000 employees and a leader in arthroscopy and surgical instruments, was struggling with high turnover—around the industry norm of 30%. Although candidates had the right education and experience, many did not fit the company’s team-based culture, driving costly replacements.

ConMed implemented the Wonderlic Personal Characteristics Inventory (PCI) and Wonderlic Big Five profiles, using customized one-page summaries and targeted interview questions to uncover fit-related issues. The change reduced turnover by 19% and saved roughly $300,000 in recruiting costs while improving hiring decisions.
