Client situation
Established in 2006, our client is a reputable consulting firm that operates across several key sectors and serves a diverse audience. Their primary focus is to solve the most complex and interesting business challenges involving cloud applications, big data, business intelligence, and data discovery. With a focus on immediate solutions and remote working, they were challenged by the competitive landscape.
Struggling to swiftly source the right talent for a variety of roles, they approached us with specific goals and needs in mind. They required a strategic partner they could trust, a collaborator who would invest in understanding their unique needs and be by their side in the long term.
In addition, our client's established presence with centers in India and the growing demand for a move to LATAM by one of its major clients further underlines the international scope of our collaboration. This move to LATAM was driven by considerations such as favorable time zones, cultural alignment, and recognition of the region's exceptional talent pool. Our ability to seamlessly support this shift and provide access to the best talent in the LATAM region has been a key factor in the continued success of our partnership.
Collaboration
The vision of our client was to build a relationship that extended beyond just filling immediate roles; they sought a partner who would become an integral part of their recruitment ecosystem. This approach was essential in addressing their goal of not merely fulfilling one-off staffing needs but establishing an enduring and agile recruitment strategy.
The primary benefits of our partnership included immediate access to more than twenty qualified professionals under 100% remote collaboration in record times of 2 to 3 weeks search time, which proved vital in the rapidly changing recruitment landscape.
The talent hired, by seniority and on contract, came from various technical disciplines such as: Azure Data Engineers, AWS Data Engineers, Snowflake Data Engineers, Data Analysts, Data Specialists, and many other specialties, always prioritizing soft skills such as adaptability, effective communication, and self-discipline.
We established a robust feedback mechanism, conducting monthly meetings with both our talent and the client to measure the progress of projects and gather their perceptions of our contracted talent. This proactive approach allowed our client to confidently guarantee their own clients swift placements, significantly enhancing their standing and reputation within the industry.
Results
Not only did we fill more than twenty roles with senior professionals, but we also provided our client with a personalized onboarding process that helped the talent feel part of the team from day one. We assigned a dedicated account manager and three IT recruiters who offered round-the-clock support.
We are proud to have created an environment where also our talent can succeed. Furthermore, we recognize that, in some cases, unforeseen circumstances may arise. To address this, we offer a talent replacement guarantee within a remarkably short timeframe of 2 to 3 weeks.
