Technology

Hydrogen has been providing business critical technology talent to organizations globally for more than two decades. As the industry evolved and international competition increased, it became harder for US companies to attract the best talent. Limited understanding of local market drivers has led to vast talent shortages. We’ve built specialist recruitment teams in the US to help organizations meet their hiring needs and have been supporting our clients locally for the past four years.

Technology companies are operating in an increasingly challenging environment, with tighter budget restraints. They need quick access to the top talent to meet the demands of evolving project scopes and deadlines, but are often held back by outdated recruitment processes, resulting in slow delivery to business-critical hires, project delays and increased recruitment costs.

We recognized the need to improve the candidate experience and create tailored solutions that deliver the top talent to you quicker. The quicker we can provide our clients with the right talent, the better the improvements will be. Our technology business pioneered the concept of a managed interview day some years ago, providing a fully realized simple way to hire the best people for your open positions. Our tailored solutions allow us to dedicate large recruitment teams to individual customers and projects, ensuring all of our clients’ needs are always fulfilled.

The challenge:

Having implemented Salesforce in 2014, our client, a Research Software Company, wanted to maximize the operational and tactical benefits of Salesforce’s interaction with a wider suite of products. They had a lack of internal expertise to carry this out and wanted to avoid business interruption as much as possible.

Our solution:

We provided a team of experts on-site and over a couple of weeks made some recommendations on the integrations that needed to happen and the order in which they should occur to avoid business interruption. We worked with our customer counterparts to architect a solution to integrate with AvaTax and lead the enhancement and implementation of accounts and contacts integration with Coupa. We also used Snaplogic to implement a new sales pipeline to convert Salesforce opportunities to Netsuite.

The outcome:

• 42% cost savings, versus existing partner

• Working practice designed between finance, technology and sales

• 8% increase in pipeline conversion, within the first five months

​

The challenge:

After 18 months of heavy reliance on external software development partners, our client, a Mobile Platform Start-Up, approached us to assist their development of a five-year people plan. One of the challenges was to reduce reliance on external software development partners. Another was the lack of internal resource to hire and onboard a whole organization of technology professionals. And the last challenge was to avoid downtime in productivity.

Our solution:

We came up with different solutions to overcome the challenges faced by our client. Firstly, we collaborated with key stakeholders to finalize the person organization structure. We then designed assessment centres, interview structures, compensation packages and induction programs, and conducted all first-round interviews. The client only needed to attend a one stage interview with pre-screened and highly motivated applicants. They were able to select from a pool of three shortlisted candidates for each role. Finally, we managed the contract, onboarding and first five days of all new employees.

The outcome:

• $2.41million saved in external vendor contracts

• Platform knowledge and IP fully owned by client

• 80% reduction in product and software downtime

​

The challenge:

Following a Salesforce rollout with an implementation partner, our client, an Energy Consulting Firm, needed cost-effective support to increase user adoption. Although the implementation was a technical success, the important configuration and administrative work had not been completed. There was a lack of engagement with end users and the business felt distanced from the platform. It wasn’t returning the investment they had planned.

Our solution:

We worked closely with internal stakeholders to understand their expectations and gather their requirements. We implemented configuration changes including the definition of workflow and custom object implementation. Within just a few days, we delivered a team capable of making recommendations to management and end users for platform usage and to increase user adoption. We concisely handled the document system configuration and administrative processes, ensuring a successful knowledge transfer to internal teams.

The outcome:

• 44% cost savings, versus existing partner

• 5.3 weeks total roll-out

• Full lifecycle delivery

• User adoption increased in line with objectives

• Knowledge Transfer Framework completed
