Absolutely! WeSolv offers a proven Case Challenge framework, but companies can customize the format, evaluation criteria, and focus areas to align with their specific hiring needs and business objectives.
What support will we receive during the Case Challenge process?
WeSolv provides end-to-end support, including a dedicated account manager to assist with Challenge design, execution, monitoring, and post-Challenge analysis. Our team ensures a smooth process, helping you maximize engagement and gain valuable insights from participants.
What metrics will I have access to during and after a Challenge?
Companies can track real-time analytics, including participant demographics, performance data, engagement levels, and interest in specific roles and locations. After the Challenge, WeSolv provides a comprehensive report with key outcomes, deeper participant insights, and recommendations to optimize future hiring efforts.
How are Challenge deliverables evaluated?
All participant submissions are evaluated using WeSolv’s proprietary IO psychology methodology and AI-driven digital scorecard to ensure consistency and objectivity. In high-volume cases, WeSolv’s Subject Matter Experts identify the top submissions using this approach. Additionally, company-appointed judges can review and score the top entries using the same digital scorecard, offering further insights from the company’s perspective. This combination of expert judgment and advanced technology ensures a thorough and balanced evaluation process.
Operational Questions
What is the required time commitment for each Challenge?
The duration of each Challenge is flexible and can be customized to meet your company’s needs. Quickfire Challenges, designed for fast results, typically last 1 to 7 days. Case Challenges, which offer deeper insights and more comprehensive engagement, generally span 2 weeks but can range from 3 to 6 weeks depending on the complexity. The setup and launch process typically takes 1 to 3 weeks.
What do companies receive after the Challenge is complete?
After a Challenge concludes, companies receive detailed performance reports, including participant information, team and individual project metrics, and demographic insights. Companies also retain full ownership of all submitted deliverables. In addition to these outputs, partnering with WeSolv enhances employer branding, boosting your company’s reputation among top candidates. Companies also gain access to an expanded pipeline of highly skilled candidates for future hiring needs.
How does privacy and confidentiality work?
WeSolv prioritizes the privacy and confidentiality of both companies and participants. Only candidates who opt to participate in a specific Challenge will receive access to the Full Case or Quickfire Challenge Briefing. All participants are bound by WeSolv’s terms of use, ensuring strict confidentiality. Additionally, participants may sign extra non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) as needed. For particularly sensitive proprietary data, WeSolv can collaborate with companies to redact or provide dummy data to participants, maintaining confidentiality while ensuring the integrity of the Challenge.
