The challenge
Five-year transformation covering mainframe migration, cloud-based microservices, greenfield platform builds, and EPMO rebuild. Professional services firms charging $3,000+/day, generalist agencies slow, no diversity in leadership, poor market sentiment toward government roles.
The search
Appointed under strict SLAs after rigorous selection against six agencies. Replaced costly contractors with competitively priced specialists. Hyper-relevant CVs in under six hours. Targeted campaigns for leadership diversity through permanent placements.
The outcome
Over seven months, Change Recruitment placed 42 contractors across technical and delivery disciplines, plus 8 senior leaders in critical transformation roles. Notably, 75% of leadership hires were female, significantly exceeding diversity targets and contributing to a more balanced leadership team.
“Change Recruitment's ability to combine speed, quality, and diversity made them a key partner in our transformation.”
