Customer story

The Challenge

Southern Earth Sciences, Inc. (SESI) was founded in 1976 to provide the construction industry with complete geotechnical consulting and materials testing services. SESI has grown to 9 offices across the United States. However, despite their growth, they had been experiencing issues with voluntary and involuntary turnover of new employees. Industry statistics show that the average cost of turnover for a mid-level position is at least $15,000, and this applied to SESI.

The Solution

TalentClick configured an assessment solution to help hiring managers screen for Person-Job (PJ) fit and Person-Organization (PO) fit. The tool helped identify employees and managers who would see projects through to completion, and who had high productivity and efficiency ratings.
