Case Study: Duracell Remotes achieves 400% better employee retention with Wonderlic

How we improved employee retention by 400%

Duracell Remotes, the national leader in keyless entry car remotes and replacement key fobs, was struggling with high early turnover and costly onboarding. New hires often left or were let go within the first month, and the company needed a better way to identify candidates who were both motivated and able to learn on the job. Duracell Remotes turned to Wonderlic and its WonScore platform to help improve hiring decisions.

Wonderlic’s WonScore was used to screen applicants before in-person interviews, filtering out candidates who didn’t meet the required threshold and saving time in the interview process. As a result, Duracell Remotes improved retention to 80%—effectively flipping its turnover rate—while also reducing hiring time and onboarding costs. The platform also gave managers better insight into each employee’s strengths, weaknesses, and motivation style.
