IT STAFFING

Technology Professionals on Contract2Hire

A PRE-GAME ANALYSIS

India’s Technology sector is well set on its march towards the US$ 350 Billion mark by the end of 2025. Reaching this milestone from the current US$ 200 Billion will involve doubling the tech workforce to a 10 Million headcount. This doubling of the workforce is non-negotiable unless the current linearity of the tech workforce is disrupted by large-scale digitization across the board. The growth challenge will only be further complicated by an ever-changing spectrum of specialist tech stacks. Over the rest of the decade, the tech workforce’s growth will also cyclically, and more frequently, make more skillsets redundant. With all these conditions in play, Tech Enterprises, large and micro alike, will encounter an equally challenging landscape in acquiring and retaining tech talent.

Under these rapidly changing conditions, a purely in-sourced talent acquisition model will only slow down an enterprise. Enterprises will need strong recruitment and staffing partnerships to access just-in-time specialist talent. Staffing partnerships are also necessary to keep the workforce dynamic & future-proofed with evolving tech stacks. End-to-end staffing partnerships provide the agility required and commercial advantage to enterprises in the game.

THE TEAM

AN IT STAFFING SPRINT

Enabling a product team in 4 weeks for a Fortune 500 product company

One of the most significant IT staffing challenges we faced till date was to staff the product team of a Fortune 500 company within a month’s time. Today, as we have placed more than 50 specialized and talented engineers to work with them in the last few months, our approach and strategy has proven to be effective in enabling rapid onboarding.

Challenge: When a Fortune 500 Product Company says that they need to hire DevOps Engineers on Contract on an immediate basis from marquee Product companies what do you do? You ask them to consider people who are already working on contract who are easy to hire. No, the Employer wanted to hire Talent who could eventually be their FTEs. So the ask was to convince High skilled DevOps engineers already on Full-Time Employment mode with their competitors to give it a shot.

Solution: Xpheno’s IT Staffing team went about this project in such a way that over the next 4 weeks, we had a smiling client.

Outcome: Today whether the client needs UI/UX, Full Stack, Automated Testing, or Data Engineers, the first call comes to Xpheno. That sounds like bragging! The client of ours may still forgive us patting our own back as we have put more than 50 specialised Engineers to work with them in the last few months.
