Confidential (within the Defence space)
The undisclosed client specializes in digital, cyber, and intelligence solutions, with over 4,500 experts across 13 countries.
The Challenge
The client didn’t have much presence in the North of England, particularly for this type of work within secured environments. We were asked to help them build the North West based team, from scratch. The team needed existing levels of security clearance with the ability to be cleared to the highest level (which involves extra screening processes and an adept understanding of how those levels of clearance work).
the solution
After three discovery calls with the client, we built a slick interview process, identified the key hires we needed to make, and understood the deadlines for when we needed the people in place. We mapped out target clients in the location and identified 200 candidates across the 5 skillsets (7 positions) that we were looking to fill. We crafted targeted messaging, used X-ray search, and scraped old candidate information to acquire telephone numbers and proactively take the vacancies to market. We had the first candidates in for interviews within 7 days of the last discovery call with the client.
The results
We hired 2 Senior Software Engineers, 2 Mid-Level Software Engineers, a Senior Data Scientist, and a Data Engineer. We then hired a technical scrum master to help run the team. The final candidate we placed received their offer 33 days after the last discovery call. This project worked very well, as the client relinquished much of the process to us as we all had previous internal recruitment experience. Our knowledge allowed us to run the process smoothly and efficiently, only escalating to the client when absolutely necessary so they could focus efforts on other areas of their business.

Some questions you may have could be listed here in our FAQS, but if you're interested in any other information, don't hesitate to get in touch with us.
Troi Search work on either a success-based or retained approach. Our success based hiring offers a flexible, low risk approach for your junior and mid level requirements.

For senior and niche requirements our retained & project based approach dedicates the time and resource required for success at this level.
You only pay when you need us. You still, however, get the benefit of working with experienced recruiters in a partnership style, but without the risk of a fixed-cost model where you could be concerned about your ROI. If it's a contingent approach, you have the ability to continue searching for candidates through your own channels whilst working with us to de-risk your hiring.
