Hiring 3000+ contractors in less than 25 days by reducing time-to-hire for a client in the UK

About the client

The client is a reputed telecommunication service provider based in the UK. They offer voice and data services to 300M+ customers across all spectrums - 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G in 70+ countries.

Client’s Challenges

The client had no centralized vendor management system in place to manage multiple staffing vendors which led to a choked supply chain. Also, they had unavailability of tech professionals on-demand for critical roles.

Key Gaps

• Legacy ecosystems operated in silos
• Lack of defined KPIs and matrix for supplier performance management and evaluation
• Delay in sourcing, hiring, and on boarding of tech professionals (Validate this)
• Extremely high time-to-hire (TAT) that led to mounting hiring costs

Quess Solution

Our first course of action was to assess the legacy ecosystem suppliers to understand the gaps and weed out non-performing vendors. This led successfully creating a 100% compliant, tech-enabled talent ecosystem that aligned with the client’s goals and objectives.

• Ran a detailed time and motion study to blueprint persisting hiring processes, talent forecasts, and audit systems.
• Created a performance evaluation matrix to segregate suppliers on the basis of their technical expertise and past performance levels.
• Centralised client’s vendor commercial management software, and standardised suppliers’ payment terms and policies.

Results

• Boosted headcount by 70%
• Consolidated 10 suppliers from a pool of 40+
• Hired 3,000+ contractors
• Reduced time-to-hire by 25 days
