Kimp, a rapidly growing tech startup, was struggling to identify the right candidates for their open positions. Despite receiving a large number of applications for each role, they found that many candidates did not have the necessary skills and experience to succeed in their fast-paced work environment. This resulted in high turnover rates and a negative impact on team morale.

To address this issue, Kimp turned to Testlify’s pre-hiring assessment tool.

The challenges

Before using Testlify’s pre-hiring assessment tool, Kimp faced several challenges in their hiring process that led to a high rate of poor fits and a negative impact on team morale. These challenges included:

Limited ability to assess candidate skills: Kimp’s recruiters were relying on resumes and cover letters to evaluate candidates, which did not provide a comprehensive understanding of their skills and abilities. As a result, they were often hiring candidates who did not have the necessary skills and experience to succeed in the company’s fast-paced work environment.

High turnover rates: Due to a lack of effective candidate assessment, Kimp was experiencing high turnover rates. Many new hires required extensive training and even then they weren’t able to meet the requirements of the role which resulted in high turnover rates and the company had to rehire for the same roles.

Time-consuming hiring process: Without an effective assessment tool, Kimp’s hiring process was very time-consuming. Recruiters had to spend a significant amount of time reviewing resumes and conducting interviews, which took away from other important tasks.

Limited ability to identify top performers: Kimp’s recruiters struggled to identify top performers among a large pool of candidates. This resulted in missed opportunities to hire the most talented and qualified candidates for open positions.

These challenges were hindering Kimp’s ability to build a strong and effective team, resulting in high turnover rates and a negative impact on team morale.
