Case Study:
RPO Partnership with a Leading Global Technology Company
Industry: Technology
Region: North America
Company Size:5,000 global employees and $200 million+ in revenue
Key Results Achieved
Recruiting capacity expanded. Scaled to 15 dedicated tech recruiters
Applicant database immediate access, unlocking broader candidate reach for client
Highly specialized technical role types covered by the GTT team
The Challenge
Facing year-end and multi-program delivery deadlines, the client needed to scale hiring for highly specialized full-time engineering and infrastructure roles, fast.
The primary challenges included:
- Competitive market pressure for elite engineering talent
- A stringent hiring bar (coding, system design, test automation, algorithms)
- Highly specialized roles spanning cloud, security, testing, network engineering, and TPM/SDM
- Limited bandwidth on internal talent teams to manage req volumes, ATS submissions, and screening rigor
- Strict expectations on aligment to internal hiring processes, messaging standards, and candiate quality benchmarks
They required an RPO partner who could go beyond surface-level sourcing and integrate directly into systems, methodology, and hiring culture
Our Solution
To deliver speed, discipline, and volume, GTT built a fully embedded RPO delivery model tailored to the client’s technical bar and internal workflows.
Key solution components included:
- A delivery team led by GTT’s Director of Client Services and VP of Recruiting, providing strategic req intake, prioritization, and hiring manager alignment
- Deployment of 10–15 senior technical consultants in place of a typical 3–4 person RPO model
- Direct access to the client’s ATS (ICIMS/Hire) with an approved company-issued laptop, allowing GTT to perform duplicate checks and submit candidates directly
- Onsite training at the client’s NJ office to learn systems, FTE hiring processes, messaging, and brand positioning
- Expansion of sourcing reach using GTT’s 9M+ applicant ATS, far exceeding the client’s internal database
- Consultants experienced in the client’s culture and interview standards, enabling stronger pre-vetting before interview loops
- Coverage across the client’s deeply specialized full-time technical roles including:
- QAE / Senior QAE
- SDET
- TPM
- SDM / Sr. SDM
- Security Engineering (Application/Data Security)
- Network Engineering
- IT Support Engineering
- Data Engineering
The Results
- Volume & speed unlocked: Scaling the team to 10–15 consultants increased sourcing output by 3–5x
- Improved alignment to hiring bar: Onsite immersion and systems access allowed stronger screening and higher-quality submissions
