WebsiteIntroduction
The company was started to create a venture philanthropy model with 10 percent of all sales going to the “Do Good Things” Foundation. To achieve their goals, Stone’s Cove partnered with Corvirtus to create a Vision with specific promises for each stakeholder group, from Guests to KitBarTenders. The Vision created a framework for measuring performance and building custom pre-employment assessments. Potential hiring assessments were validated, or tested, with current KitBarTenders. The final hiring solution selects candidates who will live Stone’s Cove’s Vision, reach its promise of “Off the Charts!” performance, deliver Engaged Hospitality for Guests, and foster Teamwork among fellow KitBarTenders. Here's how our pre-employment assessments made a difference:
“Corvirtus is a true partner. I can trust them and trust is the cornerstone of any successful relationship. They have consistently proven they are reliable and dependable.”

Corvirtus Benchmarks Increase Performance and Reduce Hiring Time
Pre-employment assessment benchmarks, or cut scores, discontinue the lowest 10-20 percent of candidates from the hiring process. Candidates scoring below the benchmark are unlikely to succeed at Stone’s Cove. Benchmarks are also set to identify top candidates, allowing managers to interview high-potential candidates first; a distinct advantage in a competitive labor market.
