Case study
Cut Enterprise Hiring Time From 13 Weeks to 6 for a Global Retail Brand
About the customer
A leading multinational corporation with 170+ years of heritage, operating across 100+ countries with billions in annual revenue. The organization competes in a highly dynamic, consumer-driven industry where digital innovation is the primary differentiator for market leadership.
The Challenge: 13-week average time-to-hire needed to be cut to 6 weeks to support aggressive digital initiatives and fill 15+ open positions.
Scale: Enterprise-level hiring across junior to director-level roles with significant geographic complexity.
Challenge

Leadership sought a partner who could quickly deliver vetted, high-performing developers and ensure seamless integration with their in-house teams.
