How Persistent Reduced L1 Interviews and Built Delivery Team Confidence with WeCP

Overview

Persistent Systems, a global digital engineering and enterprise modernization company, partnered with WeCP to streamline their technical assessments and improve alignment between hiring and delivery teams. With thousands of assessments executed and strong adoption across departments, WeCP helped Persistent simplify recruitment workflows, generate high-quality candidate reports, and in some accounts, even eliminate the L1 interview round entirely.

The Need for Change

With multiple customer accounts and varied skill requirements, Persistent needed a hiring solution that could scale across roles and provide reliable insights into candidate quality. They faced three major challenges:

• Complexity in Managing Assessments Across Teams: Multiple roles and customer-specific needs made test creation time-consuming and inconsistent.
• Limited Adoption by Delivery Teams: Hiring assessments were often underutilized due to lack of confidence in report quality.
• Time Lost to L1 Interviews: Recruiters and delivery managers spent hours conducting basic screening that could be automated.

The Solution

WeCP addressed Persistent’s needs with a combination of simplicity, robust reporting, and reliable customer support:

• User-Friendly Platform: Recruiters were able to create and share assessments quickly, without needing extensive setup or training.
• Detailed Candidate Reports: WeCP's reporting format provided delivery teams with deep insights into candidate readiness, increasing trust in the assessment process.
• Responsive Support for Multiple Accounts: The WeCP team helped manage a wide range of skills and customer-specific requirements, enabling better customization and quicker deployment.

Immediate Impact

• Thousands of Seamless Assessments: Persistent conducted thousands of technical assessments smoothly and efficiently.
• L1 Interview Elimination in Some Accounts: With confidence in WeCP’s reports, some delivery teams skipped L1 rounds and went straight to L2 interviews.
• Improved Internal Buy-In: Delivery teams that were initially skeptical became strong advocates thanks to the clarity and depth of insights provided.

Real-World Benefits
