Challenge

As an ASX100 organisation prepared for a complex, multi-year enterprise transformation, it faced a significant task: sourcing and onboarding more than 100 specialised roles across a variety of tech domains.


This large-scale transformation was essential to the company's strategy relating to supply chain and customer experience innovation, and increasing data led insights. The transformation required a build of new capabilities in the organisation and required increased capacity in a broad spectrum of tech roles. Although their incumbent supplier delivered quality service, our client needed to de-risk their project by ensuring highly specialised roles were recruited on time for successful delivery. Previously employed consultancies had resulted in high costs and service inconsistencies, adding to the challenge. Furthermore, they were committed to enhancing diversity and inclusivity in a traditionally narrow field, reinforcing their progressive vision.

Solution

Davidson Technology Recruitment was brought on board. We utilised our Project RPO methodology to support the transformation. Our Project RPO Lead undertook a detailed analysis of the workforce plan supporting the transformation. By aligning the client’s workforce plan with Davidson consultant’s domain expertise, we assembled a dedicated project team ideally equipped to meet this complex demand.


Our tech recruitment team is structured in such a way that each recruiter is dedicated to vertical areas of specialisation. As the transformation plan was rolled out, our Project RPO team worked synergistically, each contributing candidates from their specialised verticals to meet project timelines. As a result, we could provide the comprehensive and diverse tech talent requirements that this enterprise transformation necessitated.

We were deeply committed to help meet the organisation's vision for a diverse and inclusive environment. We worked diligently to provide a diverse pool of candidates with the requisite technical skills to ensure this progressive cultural vision was achieved.

Outcome

Davidson's Project RPO methodology coupled with our deep Tech specialisation played a key role in our success with this ASX100 organisation's project.


Parallel to our internal operations, the client promoted a competitive atmosphere by engaging multiple recruitment agencies. This approach fostered healthy competition amongst the agencies, driving us to deliver optimal results. Davidson outperformed, successfully supplying a diverse mix of tech talent to support the client's multi-year transformation, affirming our ability to deliver specialised tech recruitment at scale and on time.


We also enabled cost efficiencies for the client by providing in-house personnel where they proved more appropriate and economical than consultancy staff. Thus, our contribution to the client's ambitious transformation project was not only comprehensive but also cost-effective.


At Davidson, we understand that our commitment to deliver highly specialised tech talent at scale sets us apart. We continually strive to sustainably meet and exceed our clients' diverse requirements.
