A U.S.-headquartered multinational ecommerce retailer serving millions across the globe. With a strong digital presence and a growing customer base, the client is known for rapid innovation and operational excellence in the online retail space.
When the client approached Centizen, they were under mounting pressure. Their global expansion was gaining momentum, but their internal IT delivery teams couldn’t keep pace. Project deadlines were tightening, and the complexity of international operations demanded more than just bodies- it required the right people, at the right time, in the right roles. Rather than taking the risk of bulk hiring without a strategy, Centizen guided the client toward a smarter, phased approach.
The first step was capability mapping. Centizen conducted discovery sessions with business unit heads and IT stakeholders to understand not just the open positions, but the skills, team dynamics, and geographic dependencies involved. This analysis helped identify skill gaps in project management, development, QA, and systems support, spread across multiple global hubs.
With a clear plan in hand, Centizen activated its multi-regional sourcing networks, targeting the U.S., India, and Southeast Asia. The recruitment team prioritized agility and precision, tapping into both passive and active candidate pools. A dual-layer screening process evaluated candidates on their technical strengths, adaptability, and cultural alignment, key for success in distributed teams.
But Centizen didn’t stop at hiring. Each selected candidate went through a proprietary onboarding process, which included:
- Pre-joining orientation on the client’s mission, team structure, and tools.
- Cultural briefings to ensure smooth collaboration across time zones.
- Project-specific knowledge transfers to reduce ramp-up time.
To support smooth integration, a dedicated Centizen coordinator acted as the bridge between new hires and the client’s HR/IT managers. From documentation to travel logistics, every detail was managed to reduce friction. For remote contributors, Centizen ensured equipment provisioning and digital onboarding.
Over the 3 months, the client successfully filled critical roles across geographies and formed functional, high-performing sub-teams that hit the ground running. Each team aligned to delivery goals and integrated seamlessly into the client’s agile workflows.
Centizen’s involvement didn’t end at deployment. The engagement team conducted ongoing performance check-ins, enabled rapid backfills when needed, and continued to support team scaling as new requirements emerged. The entire model was designed to be repeatable, scalable, and future-ready.
