Atrium Exceeds Expectations for Seasonal Educational Testing Staffing Project

A leading information management provider supporting K-12 education, government, and commercial clients needed 1,000 seasonal Test Scorers with bachelor’s degrees to manually score standardized tests. They overcame this challenge by partnering with Atrium, using a blended Project Staffing approach to quickly recruit and onboard candidates, expand HR capabilities, and access a new pool of qualified talent.

the challenge

URGENT NEED OF 1000 TEST SCORERS

A leading provider of information management services to K-12 education, Federal, and state governments, and commercial clients worldwide has over 750 permanent employees and employs 3,000 temporary workers across all its divisions during high-volume peak periods.

The K-12 education division of the company was in urgent need of around 1,000 Test Scorers who could manually score standardized tests that could not be scored mechanically. However, finding potential candidates with a bachelor’s degree and willingness to work full-time seasonally was a challenge. To overcome this hurdle, the company sought a staffing agency that could provide qualified candidates within a short period of time while also supporting the company’s Tier 1 Supplier Diversity objective.
