The Challenge: Sourcing Specialist Data Contractors at Speed
NTT Data, a global IT services and consulting organisation, needed to rapidly scale a team of specialist data contractors to support a major financial client in Switzerland. The roles were highly technical, location-specific and time-critical, requiring contractors with deep hands-on expertise across a range of modern data platforms including Databricks, Snowflake and Azure. Finding that calibre of talent quickly, without compromising on quality, was the core challenge.
The Approach: Precision Over Volume
Senovo IT Senior Consultant Ina Zelisco translated NTT Data’s technical requirements into precise candidate profiles from the outset, sourcing through targeted searches, specialist data contract recruitment networks and referrals. Every candidate went through competency-based interviews to validate their expertise across the specific platforms required. Shortlists of two to three fully vetted CVs were delivered within 24 to 48 hours of each requirement, with tight communication maintained throughout to keep feedback and decisions moving.
The Results
- 22 contract specialists placed in 12 months
- 2 to 3 CVs per requirement, fully matched to the brief
- Shortlisted candidates delivered within 24 to 48 hours
- Referred into additional NTT Data business units on the strength of consistent delivery
