The challenge
A global technology consultancy needed permanent specialists across a changing portfolio of enterprise transformation programs. Each requirement sat in a different delivery context, with its own technical stack, stakeholder group and timetable, so a fixed or high-volume recruitment approach would have produced inconsistent results.
The core challenge was responsiveness without losing quality. Hiring priorities could shift as client programs moved, but every candidate still needed the technical credibility, consulting mindset and stakeholder skills to succeed in complex enterprise environments.
The search
Change established a repeatable intake process that translated each program requirement into a precise market brief. We developed a detailed view of the wider portfolio, then mapped permanent talent across cloud, data, enterprise platforms and software engineering according to the needs of each delivery team.
Shortlists were calibrated with the relevant stakeholders rather than treated as a single central queue. This kept feedback close to the work, allowed searches to be refined quickly and gave candidates a clear account of the program, expectations and long-term opportunity before interview.
The outcome
The partnership delivered permanent technology hires across multiple enterprise programs and disciplines. By adapting the search to each program while preserving a consistent assessment standard, the client gained dependable access to talent without rebuilding the recruitment process for every new brief.
The result was a practical, repeatable hiring relationship able to respond as the technology portfolio changed. Delivery leaders received candidates matched to their specific environment, while the central team retained confidence in the quality and consistency of the search.
