How Culture Pro by WeCP Helped Ascendion Solve a Leadership Hiring Roadblock

After months of struggling to fill a key leadership role, Ascendion turned to CulturePro by WeCP. The result? A faster, more confident hiring decision—driven by structured behavioral insights, not guesswork.

Overview

Ascendion, a leading provider of digital engineering and talent transformation solutions, faced ongoing challenges in filling a key leadership position. Despite months of searching, traditional evaluation methods failed to surface the right candidate. That changed with WeCP. By leveraging WeCP’s Behavioral and Leadership Assessment capabilities, Ascendion was able to assess leadership traits more precisely and close a role that had remained open for far too long.

The Need for Change

Ascendion had been struggling for months to hire for a critical leadership role. The standard interview process—including resume screenings and unstructured conversations—offered little visibility into how candidates handled pressure, motivated teams, or navigated conflict. These evaluations often came down to surface-level impressions rather than deeper insights into decision-making ability, communication style, and emotional intelligence—traits critical to leadership success—wasn’t enough to gauge behavioral traits or leadership potential in a consistent, objective way. The result: delays in hiring, uncertainty among stakeholders, and growing frustration within the hiring team.

Key challenges included:

  • Inconsistent Candidate Evaluation: Leadership and behavioral skills were being judged subjectively.
  • Extended Time-to-Hire: Despite multiple interview rounds, none of the candidates met the behavioral expectations for the role.
  • Internal Misalignment: Different evaluators had conflicting opinions due to lack of structured behavioral insights.

The Solution

Ascendion turned to WeCP to bring clarity and structure to their leadership hiring process. By using WeCP’s Behavioral Assessment—CulturePro, they were able to:

  • Implement Structured Behavioral Assessments: The assessments were designed to mirror real leadership scenarios, allowing candidates to demonstrate how they think, decide, and act under pressure.
  • Eliminate Subjectivity: Responses were scored using WeCP’s AI-backed behavioral evaluation framework, creating objective comparisons.
  • Align Stakeholders: Hiring managers received detailed behavioral reports, helping everyone align on what leadership potential actually looked like.

Immediate Impact

The results were felt quickly:

  • Critical Role Closed: A leadership role that had remained open for months was finally filled—successfully.
  • Faster Decision-Making: The behavioral insights gave hiring managers the confidence to move forward without needing multiple interview rounds.
  • Improved Hiring Confidence: The hiring team felt more aligned and supported by data, not just gut instinct.

The Future of Hiring at Ascendion

Encouraged by the success of this assessment, Ascendion is now expanding the use of WeCP’s behavioral insights for more roles across mid and senior levels. With structured evaluations, better stakeholder alignment, and faster decision-making, Ascendion is building a stronger leadership pipeline—powered by data, not guesswork.
