Opportunity

Our client, a leading global retail group with a rich heritage, has been transforming its business model to thrive in the digital age. With a diverse portfolio encompassing high street stores, travel retail outlets, and an expanding online presence, the business recognised the need to bolster its IT and digital capabilities to stay competitive and meet evolving customer expectations.

To achieve its digital transformation goals, our client required skilled IT and digital professionals across various roles, including Head of PMO, Project Managers, Business Analysts, and more. The client faced challenges in identifying, attracting, and securing top-tier talent with the right blend of technical expertise and cultural fit to drive innovation and change within the organisation.

Solution

We partnered closely with our client to provide a comprehensive solution to their IT and digital talent acquisition needs. Our approach was designed to not only fill the immediate staffing gaps but also contribute to the company’s long-term success in the digital landscape:

1. Customised Talent Strategy: We conducted an in-depth analysis of our client’s digital transformation roadmap, organisational culture, and technical requirements. This insight allowed us to tailor our recruitment strategy to align with the company’s goals and vision.
2. Candidate Sourcing: Leveraging our extensive network and cutting-edge tools, we identified potential candidates with the right skill sets and cultural fit. Our search was more exhaustive than active job seekers, as we also engaged with passive candidates who might be open to new opportunities.
3. Precise Assessment: Our thorough evaluation process involved technical assessments, behavioural interviews, and role-specific evaluations to ensure that candidates possessed the necessary skills and attributes to excel in their roles. We helped our client secure candidates who were not only proficient but also aligned with the company’s values.
4. Collaborative Candidate Experience: We emphasised open communication and transparency throughout the recruitment process, keeping candidates engaged and informed at every stage. This approach fostered a positive candidate experience, reflecting our client’s commitment to professionalism and respect.
5. Continuous Partnership: As our client’s digital transformation journey progressed, we remained a dedicated partner, providing ongoing support in adjusting the talent strategy, refining job descriptions, and addressing emerging needs.

Result

Through our dedicated efforts and collaborative approach, we successfully placed several key IT and digital professionals, including a Head of PMO, Project Managers, and Business Analysts. Not only did this help our client accelerate its digital initiatives, but it also fostered a culture of innovation and collaboration.

Our enduring partnership has continued to evolve; we consistently deliver high-calibre talent that aligns with the company’s strategic objectives. Our ability to understand their changing needs and provide tailored solutions has solidified our role as a trusted recruitment partner, contributing to their success in the competitive digital landscape.
