Specialist hires

Business functions supported (Delivery & Analytics) 

### 100%

Focus on Microsoft ecosystem roles 

## OVERVIEW

### **Industry:**  Microsoft Consulting/Digital Transformation  **Main region supported:**  UK & Europe  **Project:** Multi-hire programme across delivery & analytics **Roles delivered:** Project Directors, Senior Project Managers, Project Managers, Lead Analytics Consultants, Senior Analytics Consultants

Hitachi Solutions UK partnered with Talent Locker to support ongoing growth across both their project delivery and data & analytics functions, requiring a consistent pipeline of high-quality, hard-to-find Microsoft specialists.

 

## UNDERSTANDING THEIR NEEDS

### As Hitachi Solutions continued to scale, they required:

- Individuals aligned to both technical delivery and cultural fit
- A recruitment partner capable of supporting multiple hires simultaneously

Given the competitive Microsoft talent market, speed and quality were both critical.

### IDENTIFYING THE CHALLENGES Several factors shaped the hiring approach:

### **Highly Competitive Talent Market**

Senior D365 delivery professionals and analytics consultants are in high demand, with limited active talent available.

### **Consultancy Experience Required**

 Candidates needed not just technical expertise, but the ability to operate in a client-facing, consulting environment.

### **Multiple Business Areas Hiring at Once**

Simultaneous hiring across delivery and analytics created pressure on internal recruitment capacity.

### **Quality vs Speed Balance**

Roles needed to be filled quickly — without compromising on calibre or cultural fit.
