How does Hire Train Deploy work?

Our Hire Train Deploy programs help you build future skills without the cost or complexity of running training in-house.

We hire high-potential graduates and early-career talent, employing them from day one. Through bespoke bootcamps, we train them in the technical and commercial skills your roles demand. Then we deploy them into your teams as job-ready technology and business consultants.

Throughout their 12 to 24 month deployment, we provide ongoing coaching and mentoring to ensure they continue to grow and deliver impact. At the end of the program, you can convert consultants to permanent employees at no extra cost.

Key benefits

  • Bridge skill gaps with custom-trained talent 
  • Increase capability without the risks of hiring 
  • Overcome headcount restrictions 
  • Scale teams without upfront costs 
  • Access to diverse, high impact talent 
  • Option to convert consultants to perm employees 

High impact talent, ready to go

Our Hire Train Deploy programs give you access to a flexible pipeline of emerging talent without needing to manage their learning and development journeys. So you can expand and future-proof your tech teams with qualified, vetted, high-potential consultants without co-employment risks.

Tailored training

We combine a powerful blend of learning methods to ensure our consultants are ready to contribute from day one. Our bespoke bootcamps range from one week to 12 weeks and are designed specifically to deliver the accredited technical skills and commercial capabilities you need, when you need them. 

Agile, empowered teams

By adding flexible resource to your teams, you’re recruiting new talent into the business, without putting pressure on your existing teams to coach or develop their skills. Meanwhile, you are freeing up more experienced employees to do higher value work.

Ongoing development

We support our consultants to grow with you throughout their assignment. Our career development framework provides coaching, mentoring and the chance to constantly upgrade and update their skills. After 12-24 months, you have the option to convert our consultants to permanent members of your team. 

What makes our Hire Train Deploy model different?

FAQ's

  • What industries benefit from the Hire Train Deploy program?

    Industries that benefit from the Hire Train Deploy program include technology, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, government, and insurance. These sectors often face rapid technological changes and skills shortages, making the HTD model ideal for quickly building a skilled workforce in a cost-effective fashion. By focusing on capability over experience, these industries can address skills gaps, enhance diversity, and maintain competitiveness. The model is particularly effective for roles across business change, data & analytics, software engineering & cyber security.
  • Do you offer Hire Train Deploy services on a global scale?

    Our extensive network of clients, candidates, and consultants enables us to hire and deliver tailored HTD solutions across various regions and industries. We understand that each market has unique challenges and opportunities, so we customize our training programs to meet local needs while maintaining consistent quality and standards worldwide. By leveraging our global expertise, we help businesses recruit diverse talent pools, ensuring they have the skilled workforce needed to thrive in an ever-changing global economy.
  • How long is the training provided to consultants?

    Starting with an introductory training phase followed by 4 to 12 weeks of intensive skill development, the programs emphasise both technical proficiency and essential soft skills, ensuring our consultants deliver business value from day one. 
  • Why engage with our HTD program?

    This HTD model was born out of the frustration of working with traditional consultancies especially in regards to inflated project costs & knowledge leakage. The HTD program addresses these common challenges by recruiting & developing high quality, diverse consultants and deploying them to organizations in a flexible, cost-effective and sustainable way. Organizations also have the option to permanently employ our consultants after their assignments. This ensures that we solve both short-term & long-term organisational challenges, whilst boosting diversity of thought across your workforce.
