Greetings from Mazenet! Please share a few details about yourself.
Hiring groomable talent, training them on project-specific skills, and deploying them as day 1 billable resources is becoming a preferred hiring strategy across major IT organizations. Several large enterprises have already announced shifts toward skills-based hiring models. For instance, Accenture highlighted in its workforce skilling report that nearly 50% of today’s workforce will require upskilling or reskilling to stay relevant, a statistic aligned with World Economic Forum research. This talent reality is a major push factor driving companies to adopt Train-and-Hire (TNH) to secure day-1 billable, project ready resources. This blog explores why organizations are rapidly choosing Train and hire, the hiring challenges it solves, and how partners like Mazenet make this model scalable and predictable.
Train & hire model helps employers solve critical skill shortages by converting readily available prerequisite skilled candidates (e.g., Java fundamentals) into niche-skilled specialists (e.g. Mendix, or industry-specific stacks). With super niche roles becoming harder to fill directly, Train and hire offers a scalable, predictable, and fast pipeline to groom talent based on project needs.
Market hiring for senior niche skills often demands premium compensation. Train, Hire & Deploy reduces hiring costs by converting groomable junior/mid-level candidates into job-ready specialists. For instance, instead of hiring a 4+ years experienced niche developer at high market rates, companies can onboard trained 2-3 year candidates at a significantly optimized cost.
Train and Hire provides candidates who can enter the team already aligned to project expectations. Many companies report that studies attribute nearly 30% of productivity delays to insufficient role readiness during onboarding. With TNH, candidates are pre trained on tools, workflows, and tech stacks, helping them contribute faster and elevating team output from the first month. This ensures that overall project output remains consistent and the productivity of the existing team is not disrupted.
Retention is becoming a critical priority as companies experience high early attrition rates. Surveys show that 94% of employees say they would stay at a company longer if it invested in their learning and development. Train & Hire builds this commitment early by giving candidates clear growth pathways even before they join, resulting in higher loyalty and lower churn.
Cultural misalignment continues to be a major reason for new-hire failures reported by many companies each year (Leadership IQ found 46% of new hires fail within 18 months, and 89% of those failures are due to cultural misfit). Train and Hire Program addresses this by preparing candidates on organization-specific expectations, communication styles, and processes during the training stage. This leads to smoother integration and stronger team collaboration during the first 30-60 days of deployment.
With technology evolving rapidly, companies now identify skill obsolescence as a top risk estimated by 40% of organizations globally. Train and Hire helps businesses build future ready teams by developing talent pipelines trained on emerging skills and project requirements, reducing dependency on unpredictable lateral hiring and ensuring long-term capability development.
A successful train and hire process depends on structured sourcing, screening, assessments, SME driven training, and measurable learning outcomes. Talent solutions partners bring these practices to scale.
