about the client:
This global leader in construction and mining equipment manufacturing operates in over 190 countries, delivering high-performance machinery and maintaining a strong presence in construction, mining, and infrastructure development.
scenario:
The global industrial leader faced significant challenges in expanding talent acquisition for their Global Capability Centers (GCCs) in India. As they sought to rapidly scale their technical workforce to meet tight project deadlines, several key issues emerged:
- Skilled talent shortage: The client needed to onboard approximately 400 highly specialized professionals in embedded systems, cloud migration, and network architecture over a two-year period to support their GCC operations. However, sourcing qualified candidates within the required timeframe proved challenging, exacerbated by a talent shortage and heightened demand in these specialized areas.
- Scalability challenges: With operations spanning multiple GCCs, the company required a scalable solution to quickly ramp up its workforce, particularly for roles requiring proficiency in technologies like C, C++, AWS Cloud, and Catia V5—all essential for high-performance machinery and engineering solutions. They needed a partner capable of delivering a scalable, agile workforce solution to ensure rapid talent deployment, high-quality candidates, and streamlined onboarding.
our approach:
Randstad Digital, drawing on our extensive expertise in establishing and scaling Global Capability Centers (GCCs), implemented a tailored Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model to address the client’s critical talent needs. Two delivery centers were established in Bangalore and Chennai, specifically designed to efficiently source, onboard, and manage the specialized talent required for the client's technical operations.
Leveraging our deep understanding of the GCC ecosystem, we curated a highly skilled talent pool aligned with the client’s requirements in C, C++, Catia V5, and AWS Cloud Migration. Over 18 months, we successfully sourced and onboarded over 650 candidates, ensuring the client’s teams were fully staffed to meet project deadlines and operational goals.
To further enhance operational efficiency, we developed a custom lifecycle management system that streamlined employment documentation, onboarding, and attendance tracking. This system played a crucial role in ensuring smooth daily operations across the two centers, reducing bottlenecks in the onboarding process and increasing productivity.
As part of the BOT model, 15% of the talent was successfully transferred to the client over two years, creating a scalable and long-term workforce solution. This approach ensured that the client had access to a sustainable talent pipeline that could evolve with their growing business needs while maintaining operational excellence.
