Strategic Hire Case Study - GCP Architect | Global Consultancy

Ensuring a brilliant experience for the businesses and candidates we support is at the heart of everything we do at Pioneer Search.

But don't just take our word for it - check out our latest case study, showcasing how we secured experienced interim GCP Architecture talent for a Global Consultancy in under 14 days over the festive period.

The Situation

Our client, a global consultancy specialising in delivering innovative solutions to support their clients from strategic development through to digital transformation. Operating across 19 locations, their teams blend technical expertise & creative problem-solving to drive ground-breaking projects that build a positive human future.

With innovation and technology at the heart of their operations, they sought a contract GCP Infrastructure Architect to deliver a sector critical migration from on prem-services to GCP. Timing was essential, with the ideal start date set just after the festive period.

The Challenge

Time constraints and technical expertise were critical factors for this hire. Without this contractor in place the client would miss a key project deadline. With time of the essence, security checks had to be initiated alongside interviews.

At this point, Pioneer were engaged in order to overcome the client’s main challenge - finding a candidate with the right technical expertise, who could start immediately.
