Overview:
Capgemini Invent UK, a leading global consulting and technology services firm, faced significant challenges in recruiting experienced hires across various business units. The roles were particularly difficult to fill in highly specialised areas such as DevOps, Cloud Engineering, and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE). To overcome these challenges, Capgemini Invent UK partnered with 83zero, leveraging our deep expertise in DevOps recruitment and our extensive network of world-class talent.

Challenge:
Capgemini Invent UK required a recruitment partner who could not only understand the technical requirements of their roles but also grasp the nuances of their company culture and brand. The challenge was to find highly skilled candidates in niche areas, such as Cloud Engineering and DevOps, where demand far exceeds supply. Additionally, the roles required candidates with SC Clearance eligibility, further narrowing the pool of suitable applicants.

Solution:
Over the past five years, 83zero has worked closely with Capgemini Invent UK to address their recruitment challenges. Our approach involved:

- In-Depth Understanding: We invested time in understanding Capgemini’s specific needs, company culture, and the unique requirements of each role. This enabled us to tailor our recruitment strategies to align perfectly with their expectations.

- Extensive Network: Using our extensive network of DevOps, Cloud, and SRE professionals, we were able to source and attract top-tier talent quickly. Our focus was not just on filling positions but on ensuring the candidates were a perfect fit for Capgemini’s technical and cultural environment.

- In-depth Analysis: When faced with recruitment challenges, we provided detailed analysis and recommendations to Capgemini. This proactive approach ensured that any potential blockers were addressed promptly, leading to successful hires within tight timeframes.

- SC Clearance Expertise: Our experience in providing SC Clearance eligible candidates was instrumental in fulfilling the specialised roles required by Capgemini, particularly for their HMRC business unit.

Results:
Through our partnership, 83zero has successfully placed numerous candidates in critical DevOps, Cloud, Platform Engineering, and SRE roles within Capgemini Invent UK. The results include:

- High Retention Rate: The candidates we placed have shown a high retention rate, reflecting the quality of our recruitment process and the alignment between the candidates and Capgemini’s needs.

- Trusted Partner: 83zero has become Capgemini’s go-to recruitment partner for hard-to-fill roles. Our consistent delivery of high-quality candidates and our integrity in the recruitment process have earned the trust and confidence of Capgemini’s leadership team.

- Expanded Capabilities: We have supported Capgemini in expanding their capabilities in Cloud and DevOps, ensuring they have the talent needed to drive growth and innovation in these critical areas.

Testimonial:
"I have been working with James and the 83zero team for 5 years now whilst managing experienced hire recruitment across various business units of Capgemini and Capgemini Invent. The team have a great understanding of our client requirements and the recruitment markets in which we operate. We can rely on 83zero to promote Capgemini’s brands when speaking with potential candidates on the market. Most of all, I believe the team have a great work ethic and work with integrity. If there are blockers as to why a role can’t be filled within a certain timeframe, the team will provide their analysis and recommendation on what could be done to ensure a successful hire.

The team are my ‘go-to’ suppliers for hard-to-fill roles, particularly in the Cloud Engineering, DevOps, and SRE space in the Cloud Infrastructure Services Market Unit. I also know they have delivered very well in providing SC Clearance eligible candidates, such as Cloud & Data-focused Developers, Cloud Solution Architects, BAs, Scrum Masters, and Testers for the HMRC business unit. I have no reservations in recommending 83zero and 83data to deliver their services."
