Contract Staffing Case Study - 20 Data Engineers Hired in 36 Days

Client Overview

A UK-based technology services company, partnered with one of the world’s leading global banks, planned to build a high-performing Data Engineering delivery team in India. The objective was to deploy cloud-ready Data Engineers aligned to live banking projects across Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.

To achieve this under aggressive timelines, the client engaged Mazenet as a strategic talent partner to deliver an end-to-end contract staffing solution covering talent identification, skilling, readiness validation, onboarding, and deployment.

The Challenge

The engagement came with multiple business-critical constraints:

20+ Data Engineers required to be billable from Day 1
End-to-end delivery timeline of just 36 days
Strong emphasis on project fitment rather than resume-based hiring
Hiring restricted to groomable, early-career talent due to budget considerations
Sourcing largely limited to institutional talent pools
No internal bandwidth to manage large-scale training or readiness validation

Key Obstacles

Absence of a partner capable of both sourcing and skilling talent at scale
Extremely tight timelines with zero tolerance for delivery slippage

High rejection risk without structured, role-aligned training
First large-scale India delivery initiative for the client, increasing execution risk
