Global Electronics Manufacturer case study

A ~3,000-employee electronics design and manufacturing company builds the circuit boards and control systems inside industrial, medical and connected products. Part of a global manufacturing group, it develops its next generation of engineering leaders through a dedicated graduate program.

Its graduate intakes draw candidates with strong grades and certifications, and on paper, they tend to look the same. However, what matters most in a future leader, how they reason through real engineering problems, only surfaced in interviews, taking senior leaders' time away from leadership and fit.

With Colare, each intake starts with technical assessments built from the company's own engineering work and reviewed by its engineers. Candidates reach interviews with a per-competency score, so engineering leaders can focus on leadership and fit, and every cohort is measured against the same bar as the last.
