Challenge: High Turnover, Lengthy Training Time, Variable Sales Metrics

The company is a leader in oil and gas exploration information services. Oil Field Data Services (OFDS) is a database of land, well, and regulatory information as well as a powerful web-based application that allows members to work effectively while on the go.

Knowing the company’s competitive advantage depends on its people, OFDS decided to find a science-driven pre-hire questionnaire to help identify the best candidates for their open jobs. (Later, because Job Search Hawaii was so successful in hiring decisions, they began to use Job Search Hawaii for promotion decisions as well.)  

Before using Job Search Hawaii, they were experiencing 44% turnover in a critical data management department and training time for new hires was around six weeks.  Additionally, the sales team members delivered widely varying results each month. OFDS had three selection criteria for assessments.  They wanted a system that would help them:  

  • base hiring decisions on the high performers already in the role

  • report accurately the match between each candidate’s strengths and the factors they knew led to job success at OFDS

  • adopt a system that is easy to implement and that delivers standardized, consistent results.

Solution: Job Search Hawaii

After testing several assessment options, OFDS chose Job Search Hawaii because it met the company’s three criteria, and because OFDS found Job Search Hawaii results to be the most accurate when compared to other assessment options they reviewed.  They especially liked the Work Culture match that identifies candidates who will best fit into the company’s culture.  Using Affintus, OFDS achieved these results:

  • time to screen large numbers of candidates was reduced by 50%

  • in the data management department, turnover was reduced by 44% to virtually zero in six months

  • new employees learned the job faster, reducing training time by two weeks for a savings of over $12,000 per training class

  • strong job match sales team members outsold other team members by 125% - 150% for a total of about $40,000 more sales per month

OFDS found the Job Search Hawaii system quick to implement and easy to use.  The Job Search Hawaii Position Summary Report, which lists all applicants in order of the strength of their match, enabled them to focus time on the applicants with the strongest affinity for the job.  The OFDS hiring managers like the Job Search Hawaii solution because it helped them get to know the candidates before meeting them, and they really liked that the Job Search Hawaii Match Report gave them the right behavioral questions to ask during the interview.

Bottom Line
