Cutting Time-to-Hire for Engineering & Digital Talent Globally

A leading global engineering and technology enterprise was driving multiple strategic initiatives across PLM, Engineering Design, AI, RPA, Manufacturing Excellence, and Program Management. Amid aggressive delivery timelines, the organization faced mounting pressure to source niche talent across critical functions while upholding rigorous technical assessment standards and hiring quality.

Business Challenge

The client faced several talent acquisition challenges:

  • The client was managing parallel hiring demands across niche engineering and digital technology functions, making talent acquisition increasingly complex.
  • Finding experienced professionals in PLM, AI, RPA, manufacturing engineering, and design engineering remained a major challenge.
  • The organisation also needed a scalable hiring model that could support both permanent (FTE) and contingent workforce requirements simultaneously.
  • The organization had to quickly close critical business roles without compromising candidate quality or technical evaluation standards.
  • Coordination became difficult with multiple stakeholders and hiring managers involved across business units.
  • Competitive hiring conditions further increased offer drop rates, attrition risks, and pressure on delivery timelines significantly.

Conventional hiring methods struggled to keep pace with the specialised talent demands and accelerated delivery timelines critical to the client’s ongoing initiatives.

Mazenet's Strategic Approach

Instead of relying on traditional sourcing methods, Mazenet adopted a consultative workforce acquisition approach tailored to the client’s complex hiring demands.

  • Skill-based assessment frameworks
  • Technical competency validation
  • Behavioural and cultural fit evaluation
