SD Worx, a leading provider of end-to-end HR and Payroll with a European focus and global reach, serves employers and employees across the globe. With a rich history dating back to 1945, SD Worx began as a wage administration company in Belgium. It was the first payroll company to embrace technology in 1960 and has since grown through innovation and expansion. Today, with over 75 years of expertise in HR and payroll, SD Worx serves over 84,000 clients in 150 countries.

The company offers a wide range of services, including Payroll & Reward, Core HR, Workforce Management, Talent & Careers, and Staffing & Recruitment.

Meet Hicham Al Bouhali, the head of the talent acquisition team at SD Worx. His team of 34 talent specialists is responsible for hiring between 1,300 and 1,500 people annually, making their hiring process a significant part of their operations.

The challenge

Before using TestGorilla, SD Worx used a different tool for their hiring process. However, this tool needed to be updated and more user-friendly, resulting in a poor candidate experience. The tool also took almost three hours to complete the testing, which was unacceptable for the fast-paced world of talent acquisition. 

The solution

SD Worx introduced TestGorilla a year ago to improve its hiring process. The tool was initially used for IT profiles, but the team quickly saw the potential for its use in other areas. TestGorilla was integrated into each country where SD Worx operates, even in countries where testing wasn't commonly used in the recruitment process. The team saw this as an opportunity to increase the quality of their candidates and, consequently, the quality of their hires.

The results

Since implementing TestGorilla, SD Worx has seen significant improvements in its hiring process. More candidates are completing the testing due to its shorter duration, and the team can present more qualified candidates to hiring managers. This has resulted in a reduced time to hire and an improved perception of the business. The user-friendly interface and reliable performance of TestGorilla have also contributed to a better candidate experience. 

• Increased completion rates: More candidates are completing the testing process due to its shorter duration with TestGorilla, compared to the previous tool which took almost three hours.

• Reduced time to hire: The use of TestGorilla has led to a reduction in the time to hire. This is due to the quicker testing process and the ability to present more qualified candidates to hiring managers promptly.

• Improved candidate experience: The user-friendly interface and reliable performance of TestGorilla have contributed to a better candidate experience.

• More qualified candidates: With TestGorilla, SD Worx has been able to present more qualified candidates to hiring managers, improving the quality of their hires.

• Increased efficiency: Integrating TestGorilla into each country where SD Worx operates has led to a more efficient and centralized hiring process.

In conclusion, the implementation of TestGorilla has revolutionized the hiring process at SD Worx. The tool has not only streamlined their operations but also significantly improved the candidate experience. With a more efficient testing process, SD Worx has seen an increase in test completion rates, leading to a larger pool of qualified candidates. 

This, in turn, has reduced the time to hire and improved the quality of their hires. The user-friendly interface and reliable performance of TestGorilla have further enhanced the hiring process, making it a valuable asset for SD Worx. The company's experience with TestGorilla underscores the tool's potential to transform hiring processes, making them more efficient, effective, and candidate-friendly.
