A Team in Seven Days

JISC champions digital technology for UK education and research — a 1,000+ employee organization running several digital projects at once. As its IT department grew, it lacked experienced developers, recruiting took too long and a project deadline was under threat. NDS sent CVs within 48 hours, set up the interviews and guided the process.

The engagement

Growth Outpacing Hiring

As the IT department grew, four problems got in the way:

Experienced developers

Not enough of them available to the team.

Slow recruitment

Hiring IT consultants took too long.

Recruiting know-how

Little in-house experience in recruiting IT staff.

A deadline at risk

The project timeline was under threat.
