Challenge
Colmore was growing fast and needed highly skilled developers, data analysts and financial analysts to meet its staffing demands. Finding employees with the right skills, within their budget, and available at their USA and UK offices was taking too long. When they did find suitable candidates for lower-level positions, they struggled to retain them. They turned to The Scalers to help after a recommendation
I couldn’t find the talent I needed in Dallas as everyone was racing after the few candidates. The team in Bangalore has solved that hiring headache. Everyone in Bangalore is just as good and frankly, some of my best accountants sit in Bangalore.
Solution
To test The Scalers’ approach, Colmore initially set up one scrum development team and one data analyst team. The Scalers used existing talent networks to quickly find the required front-end positions. Within 6 months, all the initially required research roles were filled, following The Scalers’ 7-step recruitment process.
The Scalers has given us a sense of belonging, moving from their IT hub to our own building. They help us with each and everything we do; HR, technology, admin, everywhere. I’ve never seen anyone else provide this in the industry.
As per The Scalers’ model, all the setup and administration were handled by The Scalers. All Colmore had to do was provide the required roles to their Partner Success Manager and select the final candidates. Once the candidates had accepted an offer to join Colmore, the Partner Success Manager coordinated with stakeholder in Colmore to provide a smooth onboarding experience for the new hires.
The outcome
The quality of the candidates impressed Colmore immediately. After six months, they committed to expanding their Bangalore office to cover additional roles and teams, including senior positions. Now, Bangalore is their go-to location for new hires.
The Scalers took the time to understand our needs and acted on them. We really needed good talent and The Scalers got us just that. From day one we’ve had a real collaboration and constant engagement. It’s been a game changer.
Thanks to expanding their time zone coverage, Colmore gained a productivity boost in processing data, providing insights sooner to their clients. Plus, they have laid the foundation for further expansion into the APAC market.
