Mobile Programming has 5 centers in India with around 25 recruiters. Mobile Programming caters to clients in the USA as well as India. Mobile Programming believes in proactively reaching to their clients and achieving customer excellence. While reviewing their hiring process, Vipin Sharma, General Manager, HR & Recruitment, discovered that their clients were spending far too much time interviewing candidates.

For a job role, if they shortlisted 20 candidates, their clients had to individually interview all 20 of them, resulting in a lot of work hours per hire.

They conducted their initial screening through telephonic interviews after which the candidate profiles were sent to the clients. While speaking to the candidates, the recruitment team focused on the educational background, their experience, and relied on what their resume presented about their skills. Skill quantification through phone interviews had a limited scope. Their recruitment team lacked the expertise to evaluate the candidate’s technical skills.

Mobile Programing focused on devising a process wherein candidates could be filtered based on assessments and only relevant candidate profiles reached their clients. While they had a raw outline of the hiring process, they looked for an assessment solution that has the maximum number of technical skills & they should be able to upload the questions of the clients. Most of all, it should accelerate the hiring process for their clients, which was the main objective.

After much analysis, evaluation, and brain-storming by the core team, Mobile Programming decided to partner with iMocha and started using for technical assessments of the candidates. Every candidate was asked to appear for an assessment pertaining to the job role. Their recruiters no longer rely only on the telephonic interviews. They filtered candidates based on the assessment results and sent these reports to the clients. Their shortlisting of candidates was data-driven rather than relying on the gut feeling of the recruiters.

What benefited Mobile Programming the most was that the reports provided a detailed skill wise analysis of each candidate. In the case of coding assessments, their clients were able to view the detailed code written by candidates and evaluate them accordingly. With the help of reports, their clients could further filter irrelevant candidates.

With a bit of training on the tool, Mobile Programming recruiters developed proficiency in creating apt assessments.

iMocha has a comprehensive library with the latest skill tests. This helped Mobile Programming to choose or create an assessment best suited to the job description provided by the clients.

The time saving and filtered recruitment process enabled Vipin’s team to operate more optimally. Their clients also spent time only interviewing relevant candidates and 90% of the candidates who performed well on assessments did well on interviews too.

Mobile Programming used iMocha initially for a few of their clients. Looking at the results, they have decided to roll out this data-driven effective hiring process for all their clients which will provide value addition.
