From project to partnership

The problem

In 2020, a leading energy provider faced a critical challenge: migrating and integrating their systems into Microsoft Azure. They needed highly skilled cloud specialists to ensure a smooth transition, but finding the right talent quickly and at scale was essential to keep the project within tight timeframes and save cost.

How we solved it

Our Cloud recruitment team delivered with speed and precision, sourcing top-tier candidates for the migration phase. This success led to a long-term partnership where we continue to provide both permanent and contract specialists, including Azure DevOps Engineers, Cloud Engineers, Developers, Architects, and Support Analysts.

By supplying the right expertise at the right time, we enabled seamless integration across Azure and other systems. This collaboration demonstrates our ability to deliver scalable, strategic recruitment solutions that drive digital transformation for our clients.
