Best-Fit Software Team Placements for a Large-Sized IT Company

Making Skilled Talent Acquisition Efficient

Summary:

An IT sector company required 20+ web and mobile app developers with outstanding expertise and carried out tough technical screening comprising multiple assessments and interviews. Following the screening of 200+ resumes and 50-60 candidates over 5+ months, they could not select a single one.

The IT company came into contact with Alliance Recruitment Agency. Our IT recruitment services helped them fulfill various business goals. Here’s the case study.

Client

The client company specialized in software development for websites, mobiles, and integrated online and offline platforms. The projects they developed and maintained included e-marketplaces, e-stores, data analytics, specialized social networks, SaaS platforms.

A global company offering software and technology solutions in many countries, the client was planning to create a stronger permanent workforce as part of its expansion goals.

Vacancies and Requirements
