Finding perm and contract consultancy talent
Finding consultancy talent fast
Presence is a digital product consultancy that works with mission led organizations committed to helping the world become a better place.
Their expertise is in design, development, product management and emerging technologies. As they grow and win new projects, multidisciplinary experts are needed to deliver high quality, reliable and sustainable solutions for their clients.
But such talent is hard to find, and even harder to attract as consulting firms battle it out to secure the best candidates in the market. With no in-house recruiting team and a time short CTO finding themselves more and more responsible for the hiring process, Presence needed a reliable talent partner who could hire permanent and contract experts quickly.

How we helped Presence save time and win more projects…
Presence have quickly become one of our best friends – we talk to them around 3-4 times per week to advise, support and consult them on management decisions with contract staff. We have helped them structure T’s & C’s and billing processes with new clients, been a listening ear during challenging times, provided reassurance on all things talent related and supported with process design.
Presence is one of our clients who rely heavily on new talent to deliver high profile projects for their customers. They are a growing consultancy with a strong reputation to maintain and need to be certain they will have the right people, at the right time – without fail.
Because of our history attracting great talent for them, they came to trust our ability to quickly mobilise teams which gave them the confidence to bid for new projects. One of these required us to build a team of 14 engineers. This campaign became our highest priority. We took a whole team approach and had a shortlist sent over within 48 hours of briefing.

Interview support
Fundamental to the success of Presence is their quality driven, collaborative team who work together to deliver the best possible solution for their clients. We needed to ensure that every candidate shortlisted would be aligned with Presence’s ethos. To do this we conducted first stage interviews and had to really drill down into the candidate’s experience, drivers and motivations.

Improved candidate experience
Presence's two hour coding assessment was impacting the candidate journey and competitors were snapping up the talent quickly. We helped them re-design the process to include a screen share live code review within the 2nd stage interview which helped them stay engaged with the candidates, and gave candidates the opportunity to discuss their strengths and training needs.
