Challenges
Interview overload
TPAY MOBILE faced interview overload, leading to unnecessary stress on interviewers, expensive engineering hours spent on interviews, and hindered productivity due to multiple bottlenecks in the hiring process.
High volume of applications
TPAY MOBILE received a high volume of job applications, but the quality of these applications was low, making it challenging to identify suitable candidates.
Too many low-quality candidates
The primary goal for SkillPanel was to eliminate interviews with low-quality candidates, reducing the burden on interviewers and streamlining the hiring process.
“SkillPanel helped us a lot with filtering and selecting the right candidates. We see the value because in Egypt, we’ve interviewed over 500 people and only hired 20. It’s unrealistic to do these 500 interviews.
Our number one goal for SkillCheck was to limit the number of interviews. We’ve definitely achieved this goal and also see an additional benefit. SkillPanel helps us assess what we are unable to evaluate in the traditional interview – how people write code.”
Results
Reduced interview load
Implementing SkillPanel significantly reduced the need for manual interviews. Instead of interviewing all 500 applicants, TPAY MOBILE was able to focus on the top candidates identified through SkillPanel, resulting in a more efficient and less stressful hiring process.
Faster screening process
SkillPanel made the hiring screening process much faster, enabling TPAY MOBILE to double their team in one year. They could prioritize interviews for candidates with genuine potential, improving overall efficiency.
Improved candidate quality
Although the number of interviews conducted remained consistent, the caliber of candidates improved. SkillPanel helped filter out low-quality applicants, leading to a higher quality pool of candidates for interviews.
Geographical insights
SkillPanel provided valuable insights about the Egyptian job market, helping TPAY MOBILE understand which candidates were likely to succeed based on their assessment results. This allowed for more informed hiring decisions.
Interviewer satisfaction
Interviewers were highly satisfied because they no longer wasted time on interviews and screenings that would not result in hires. Their time was used more efficiently, contributing to higher interviewer satisfaction.
Clear performance benchmarks
SkillPanel introduced clear performance benchmarks, allowing the company to set a threshold for candidate success based on assessment results.
Higher quality candidates
Despite conducting a similar number of interviews, the quality of candidates improved, primarily due to SkillPanel’s ability to identify top performers based on technical assessments.
Ideal hire definition
TPAY MOBILE was able to define their ideal hire based on intelligence, analytical thinking, and coding skills, with SkillPanel helping to evaluate these attributes through unshared test cases and unit test case solutions.
