Client Background
The client is a manufacturing concern involved in the manufacturing of sheet metal, tubes and other steel products. It is a process governed organization with high level of concern for quality.
Problem statement
The client used to hire 200-500 engineering graduates every year following a three stage process of selection. It was seen that many a times a candidate turns out to be good at the first round of screening interview but in the subsequent rounds the candidate doesn’t hold up to the expectations. The company wanted to have some screening as well as pre-interview tool which can reveal the true level of skills, potential and personality of the candidate so that the company can save its valuable time and interview only those who have high potential.
Solution Design
After detailed discussion a customized solution was offered which included a validated test of mechanical aptitude to be used as screening tool and WPI-Pro to be used just before the interview. Required training to the hiring staff was also provided to interpret and take maximum advantage of WPI-Pro.
After six months of usage, the client performed an analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of the system and tools for its usage and based on the results of this, decided to implement similar system for lateral hiring and senior level hiring, for which EQiP is also being used in addition to WPI-Pro. The client is using the system since Jan 2012.
