ACT WorkKeys Career Assessments

How did RoyOMartin raise the quality of new hires while reducing turnover and costs?

The Louisiana-based employer is a forestry and woods-products company with 1,200 employees and several plants in two different states. To solve the issue of turnover, RoyOMartin needed a valid and reliable tool to match skills to jobs. The company found that WorkKeys, NCRC, and Job Profiles could assess the skills in their community and develop a workforce needed for economic development. 

Finding the right people for the right job is critical in manufacturing today, especially when you design and manufacture innovative solutions for aerospace and other industrial sectors.

Headquartered in Nevada, Click Bond, Inc. is a family-owned-and-operated business that pioneers advanced solutions in assembly hardware. Advanced manufacturing requires employees with advanced skills. Like other manufacturing companies, Click Bond, Inc. faced a skills gap – so they turned to ACT Workforce solutions.     

Click Bond first tested all employees in key production areas using WorkKeys, and eventually incorporated the assessment into the hiring process. Over time, the company found that the NCRC reliably predicted aptitude. Ultimately, the NCRC has saved the company time and money because it provides a better pool of candidates. Click Bond employees acknowledge access to opportunities that wouldn’t be available to them if they did not earn an NCRC.
