Driving double-digit YoY growth in the highly competitive Information Technology space

Uptima approached Emerge Talent Cloud for assistance in driving growth in 2019. They were struggling to keep up with key hires which was jeopardizing their ability to maintain 30%+ revenue growth. Because of how critical these hires were. Bill Butler (CEO) was closely involved in the search process. What made this search particularly challenging for Bill is a combination of the high degree of technical skill required. plus a strong desire for the right culture fit. In addition. his search was restricted to a highly competitive geographical area.

1. Urgency: we were working on a 11-week timeline to make 4 hires

2. Roles: Practice Director. Practice Manager, Solutions Architect

3. Services: 1 full-cycle Emerge Talent Cloud@ 40 hours per week

Immediately, Bill realized that his internal resources were insufficient in making these key hires. When Emerge Talent Cloud partnered with Uptima and completed an assessment of their recruitment capabilities, it became clear that it was time for a new approach to solving this challenge.
