Centizen adopted a four-phase approach to solve the client’s staffing challenge, ultimately helping them fill over 40 specialized IT contract positions within just a few months.

Phase 1: Discovery and Planning (Weeks 1–2)

We began with in-depth sessions involving 6 project managers and delivery stakeholders to assess over 50 upcoming resource needs, including key roles in cloud, DevOps, and application development. A customized staffing plan was developed to align with the delivery roadmap and adhere to predefined billing parameters.

Phase 2: Targeted Sourcing and Vetting (Weeks 3–5)

Centizen’s recruiters activated talent pipelines across 3 major sourcing channels—internal database, referrals, and external networks. More than 150 candidates were screened, with only the top 40 profiles (based on technical assessments and remote-readiness) shared with hiring managers. This cut client screening time by nearly 60%.

Phase 3: Seamless Onboarding (Weeks 6–10)

Centizen managed full-cycle onboarding for all selected candidates—handling documentation, compliance checks, and knowledge transfers. Resources were deployed in 3 structured waves aligned with sprint schedules across 5 projects. Onboarding timelines were reduced by 35% compared to previous cycles.

Phase 4: Performance Monitoring and Optimization

We set up monthly check-ins with 3 delivery leads and tracked consultant performance using internal scorecards. Based on feedback, Centizen made 3 quick replacements and extended 12 contracts seamlessly. Proactive monitoring led to a 92% retention rate across the contract period.

This structured model allowed the client to maintain a consistent hiring velocity of 8–10 resources per month while ensuring compliance, skill alignment, and minimal disruption to internal teams.
