Our client is an R&D and design company that leverages advanced technology to innovate and develop electronic solutions.

The client’s mass hiring efforts were hampered by issues endemic to large-scale, specialized recruitment:

• Inconsistent Evaluation Quality: Relying on recruitment partnerships with multiple colleges led to wide variability in assessment quality and criteria, making standardized hiring difficult.
• Resource Intensive Development: Developing and maintaining a scalable, evolving assessment platform in-house was deemed too resource-intensive for the growing R&D arm.
• Risk of Bias and Error: Manual evaluation methods posed significant risks of human error and bias, potentially slowing down the hiring process and undermining the accuracy and fairness of assessments.

QBurst delivered Evalgator, an end-to-end, automated hiring solution that centralized the assessment process and prioritized skill alignment and fairness.
