A case study
Wilbert Plastic Services selected PDP to solve a critical challenge: separating the learning curve from their hiring process while improving job fit, employee development, and retention. Beginning in 2013, Wilbert anchored its people strategy on verified behavioral data, making PDP ProScans a standard requirement for all exempt hires. Over time, the program expanded to include hourly hiring and internal promotions, creating a consistent, objective framework for talent decisions.
To further strengthen selection accuracy, PDP JobScan position models were built for key roles, enabling objective comparisons between candidates and top performers, to guide hiring decisions. Today, 100% of Wilbert new hires complete a ProScan prior to hire, with candidates evaluated against role-specific benchmarks.
"I am an absolute true believer in PDP and would not hire anybody - and have not hired anybody since 2013 - without getting a ProScan profile on them. The product is outstanding, and the accuracy is uncanny."
Another key benefit of using PDP in your organization is its team-building tool, PDP TeamScan, where team members' PDP profiles are utilized to foster deeper understanding of each person's communication style, work approach, leadership tendencies, and energy levels. This exercise promotes mutual understanding, builds team cohesion, and improves collaboration. Wilbert has facilitated many of these sessions, and the resulting camaraderie has been invaluable.
Overall, Wilbert Plastic Services has transformed its culture by putting people at the center of its business strategy. They're successfully using PDP tools to identify high-potential leaders using scientific data, equipping technical managers with the communication tools needed to lead effectively, standardizing their hiring, and boosting employee engagement through self-awareness and mutual respect.
