How WeCP Helped Idox Solve Volume Screening, Cheating, and Hiring Efficiency

Overview

Idox, a leading supplier of software solutions and services to the public sector, was faced with thousands of applications and growing concerns about cheating in online assessments. The company turned to WeCP to solve multiple hiring challenges in one go. The result? Sharper screening, secure evaluations, and a measurable increase in joining rates.

The Need for Change

The company was struggling with two major issues:

• Overwhelming Application Volume: With 2,000–3,000 resumes flowing in for many roles, manually shortlisting candidates became impossible for the talent acquisition team. Surface-level filtering offered no insight into actual fit.
• Rampant Cheating with Other Tools: Despite using multiple platforms that offered proctoring, cheating was still common, which compromised the quality of hires.
• Low Joining-to-Shortlist Ratio: The hiring team found themselves doing the legwork—shortlisting and interviewing—without seeing enough actual joinings. Productivity was measured not in CVs processed, but in offers accepted and candidates onboarded.

The Solution

WeCP became the backbone of the new, streamlined hiring workflow:

• Smart Resume Filtering: The team used WeCP to input shortlisted resumes into the platform, which then automatically vetted candidates against job role expectations. This reduced manual load and surfaced candidates who were genuinely aligned with the JD.
• Secure, AI-Powered Assessments with Sherlock: With WeCP’s built-in AI test integrity agent—Sherlock—incidents of cheating dropped significantly. It outperformed previously used platforms by detecting impersonation and device misuse.
• Holistic Candidate Evaluation: WeCP assessed not just technical skills, but also behavioral and communication capabilities, based on the requirements configured by the hiring team.

Immediate Impact

• Dramatically Reduced Shortlisting Effort: What used to take hours across thousands of CVs was now automated and curated.
• Significant Drop in Cheating Incidents: Sherlock proved more effective than any previous tool the company had tried.
• Higher Joining Rates: The most important metric—candidates actually joining—saw a measurable increase.
