CASE STUDIES
Objectives
The primary challenge for TTC was the constant need to hire specialist technical talent in a market where experienced candidates are scarce and highly sought after. Internal hiring resources were stretched, making it difficult to manage multiple roles at once, particularly at senior level.
In addition, demand for talent fluctuated throughout the year, creating the need for a recruitment partner who could provide consistency, flexibility, and access to a wider specialist network. TTC required a structured approach that would reduce the burden on internal teams while ensuring critical hires could be delivered quickly and effectively.
Solution
Thornton Gregory partnered closely with TTC to deliver a consistent, process-driven recruitment practice through our Team Build solution. By providing access to best-of-breed headhunters and specialist market expertise, we were able to accelerate the recruitment process and improve hiring outcomes across a wide range of technical disciplines.
“Scalable, High-Performing Technical Teams”
As their digital and transformation programmes evolved, TTC needed a recruitment partner capable of delivering senior technical expertise at pace – while reducing internal pressure and improving hiring efficiency.
Results
– Technical talent delivered for TTC since 2010
– Senior digital leaders successfully appointed
– Specialist Salesforce and engineering teams built
– International relocation hire managed end-to-end
Alongside delivery, we introduced structured candidate management and scorecard systems to simplify shortlisting, streamline interviews, and reduce overall cost per hire. Beyond ongoing recruitment support, we also managed complex project hiring, including the successful sourcing and international relocation of a Genesys Developer from India, via London, and ultimately to Toronto, with Thornton Gregory overseeing the entire process end-to-end.
