Our screening process is deliberately hybrid: remote desktop qualification and sample testing eliminate the majority of candidates before any travel expense is incurred. Of 45 initial candidates, only 4 demonstrated sufficient capability and alignment to justify an on-site factory visit — saving the client significant time and cost.
