CASE STUDY: Empowering the “Big 4” Global Consultancy

Industry/business type: Financial Services 

No of employees: 20,000+

The client, a UK division of a renowned global financial services provider, offers a wide range of solutions to both businesses and consumers. As they set their sights on launching new projects, the client had identified a critical gap in the necessary tools and technology expertise needed to drive their latest initiatives forward.

SITUATION

The client, a leading global consultancy, was eager to kick-start several high-priority projects aimed at supporting their ambitious growth plans. However, they faced significant challenges due to a lack of in-house expertise in the latest technology and tools to drive these initiatives.

Staying ahead of technological advancements was crucial for the success of their selected projects.

CHALLENGE

To overcome this gap, the client recognised the need to build a new, highly-skilled team that was not only fully equipped to work with the latest technologies to deliver high-impact results, but also aligned with the company’s commitment to diversity and inclusion.

The challenge was twofold—sourcing candidates with the required technical knowledge and ensuring the team embodied the company’s focus on continuous innovation and diverse tech talent.

OUR SOLUTION AND APPROACH

At Corecom Technology Academy (CTA), we specialise in recruiting, nurturing, and training diverse talent, including career switchers who are motivated to transition into the tech industry. Through our bespoke assessment center, we work closely with clients to match top candidates to their specific needs. Our tailored approach ensures that individuals are equipped with both technical expertise and the ability to adapt to fast-paced work environments.

In this instance, six Associates were recruited through CTA’s customised process, designed to identify high-potential candidates—and were provided with a comprehensive, six-week training program to equip them with the latest skills and technologies. This intensive training covered key areas such as Test Automation, ensuring the Associates were ready to take on their roles with confidence.

After a successful training programme, the Associates were fully onboarded within just nine weeks, deployed directly to the client’s site, and ready to contribute to project success.
