How we have helped clients get the right capability
Every engagement starts with understanding the work, not just the job title. These examples show how that practitioner-led approach plays out in practice.
Where clients have asked us not to name them, we describe the engagement without identifying details.
Defining the brief before going to market
The situation. A client approached us about a potential contractor placement. Within minutes of the first meeting it was clear the requirement needed more definition before it went to market. The risk was a role description that asked for everything and matched no one.
What we did. Rather than rushing to advertise, one of our enterprise architects, with 25 years’ experience, spent half a day on site with the client to unpack the work, the environment and what the role genuinely needed to deliver.
The outcome. By the end of the session the client had a clear list of deliverables and a plan they could take to their executive team. That clarity up front meant a sharper brief, a more realistic skills profile and less risk of engaging the wrong person, saving time, cost and rework later.
Developers and business analysts for a digital agency
The client. Arvo Agency (formerly Creative Curiosity), a digital agency delivering client projects.
What they needed. Developers and business analysts for a range of projects, people who would fit the team and deliver, not just tick boxes on a CV.
How we helped. We took the time to understand each project and what the agency really needed before recommending anyone, rather than sending the first marginally qualified candidates.
“Dean (Talexa) have been a valued partner of ours when we’ve needed to recruit developers and business analysts for various projects. We particularly value Dean’s bespoke approach, where he takes the time to understand our real needs instead of simply finding the first person who is marginally qualified for the role.”
Stephen Jackson, Managing Director and Co-Founder, Arvo Agency
