Overview

The CLIENT, a leading international corporate entity in the software development industry based in Switzerland, faced an urgent need to recruit over 100 senior IT specialists to support the launch of four new branches in Southern Europe and Latin America. The target positions required highly specialized skills in both front‑end and back‑end development, covering a wide range of niche technologies. To meet this challenge, PRODENSA provided a comprehensive and rapid recruitment solution for a six‑month period, ensuring the CLIENT could meet their aggressive hiring goals.

Project Stages

CLIENT Needs Understanding

PRODENSA started by thoroughly understanding the CLIENT’s specific needs, including the required qualifications, experience levels, and the technological expertise needed for the roles. This stage also involved aligning with the CLIENT’s preference for local candidates in the new markets.

Candidate Search, Selection & Pre‑Screening

PRODENSA deployed a diverse, cross‑country team of recruitment specialists to search, select, and pre‑screen candidates across Southern Europe and Latin America. The focus was on finding high‑quality senior IT engineers with expertise in various technologies, including DevOps, QA automation, Java, .NET, Flutter, React, Angular, Avaloq, Golang, and others.

CLIENT Interviews & Hiring

PRODENSA presented a shortlist of candidates to the CLIENT, who conducted interviews and made final hiring decisions. The process was streamlined to ensure fast hiring and onboarding, allowing the CLIENT to rapidly staff their new branches with top‑tier talent.

Challenges & Solutions

The project encountered several challenges, including the CLIENT’s high demands for candidate qualifications, both in practical experience and theoretical knowledge. Additionally, there was a pressing need for fast hiring and onboarding to meet multiple projects’ deadlines. Furthermore, the CLIENT was working with a limited budget and had a preference for local candidates. On top of that, PRODENSA was facing fierce competition from multiple internal recruitment teams operating in the same regions.

PRODENSA addressed these challenges by leveraging our extensive recruitment network and expertise in the targeted regions. We engaged several teams of local recruitment specialists who understood the market dynamics and could source qualified candidates efficiently. By focusing on speed and quality, PRODENSA was able to deliver a shortlist of 200 high‑quality senior IT engineers within just 8 weeks, giving the CLIENT the capacity to meet their staffing goals despite the challenging conditions.

Project Outcome

The rapid delivery of qualified candidates allowed the CLIENT to have a sufficient candidate pipeline for their projects and onboard staff quickly. The use of local recruitment teams across different countries played a crucial role in fast specialist delivery and enabled PRODENSA to meet the CLIENT’s preference for local hires while also managing the budget constraints effectively.
