Challenges

Non-billable hours

Jonah Group faced the challenge of too many non-billable hours spent on candidate assessments, as developers had to manually grade assessments, leading to productivity losses.

Assessment scheduling difficulties

Scheduling assessments for candidates visiting Jonah Group’s facility was challenging, causing delays and scheduling conflicts.

Time to process candidates

The process of assessing candidates was slow, taking 5-7 days from scheduling to grading, which hindered hiring efficiency.

Plagiarism concerns

Jonah Group’s in-house assessment process lacked internet access due to plagiarism concerns, limiting candidates’ ability to access relevant repositories.

By implementing DevSkiller, Jonah Group saved $200 on every single candidate assessment. This cost savings included productivity gains and time saved on report writing. The automation provided by DevSkiller quickly paid for itself, helping the organization maximize billable hours.
