Défis

Ineffective screening procedure

Lingonberry’s previous screening procedure wasn’t narrowing their recruitment funnel enough. A full 50% of the candidates they assessed with their own tasks were still being invited to the technical interview. What is more, they could only recruit for roles where they had programming competence.

Too many interviews

One of Lingonberry’s biggest problems was that they scheduled too many interviews. Before introducing DevSkiller, on average 15 candidates had to be interviewed in person to make two hires

Effects

1. 11% of all candidates interviewed in person

2. 53% fewer interviews

3. 50% of candidates eliminated with DevSkiller technical screening

4. 4 interviews to hire two developers
