Industry/Use Case


    Present in India since 1953, this group works in defense, aerospace, space, transportation and security by providing its customers tools they need to perform critical tasks. This group has been partners with Indian Armed forces for long, and is active in the civil sector in both the aerospace, security and ground transportation markets. In India, it has its headquarters in New Delhi, and has 300 employees.


    There was a wide range of issues that came up when the company decided to undertake its very first campus recruitment drive, in order to include fresh talent into their organization.

    1. Clarity in the recruitment process
    Since it was their first campus recruitment process, there was no clarity regarding which college’s fresher and of how many colleges are to be evaluated? Or how many college students should be evaluated? What should be the precise quality of student that should be hired who would fit into the company’s culture and work profile?

    2. Assessments
    The next problem arose when it came to assessments. First, the company was uncertain of the right type of assessment which would help them find the most appropriate candidate for their company. Secondly, the choice between the traditional pen and paper and an online assessment. However, for the second the unavailability of an online platform, posed another issue.

    3. Evaluation
    Other than requiring quick and efficient evaluation, there was a need for deciding the benchmark/cut off which that would be help the company hire the candidate with the right abilities and skill set.
