Challenge
The company had a very sophisticated technical operation when we started working together, and specific needs that they needed to fulfill. They were looking for help in various aspects including data engineering and warehousing, full-stack web development, and quality assurance.
Goal
Considering the size of the existing team and the variety of roles, the goal was to hit the ground running and integrate seamlessly to the company's ongoing efforts, as well as navigating the corporate structure to find the key stakeholders that would get the new team members some early wins.
Solution
Through a meticulous recruiting and vetting process, we were able to find not only senior professionals that had the soft and technical skills that were required for the job, but also professionals who could greatly increase productivity from the get-go. We have become Advance's go-to technology partner and the team has been growing steadily over the years.
