CHALLENGE:

The bank was having difficulty maintaining a competitive edge while avoiding generic, off- the-shelf banking software. Managing nearly $250 billion in assets, they relied on proprietary mobile applications and a custom-built customer website. This unique approach required highly specialized IT staff capable of supporting and evolving these customized technologies.

“It’s a very competitive world in the banking and financial services industry,” said Bill Lovelace, GDH Senior Account Executive. “Our client didn’t want to look like a ‘bank in a box,’ and finding the right technical talent to support that vision became a major challenge.”

SOLUTION:

GDH assisted the bank by consistently delivering specialized IT professionals with the precise skills required for their proprietary systems. Strategic staffing solutions were put in place addressing the bank’s ongoing needs. “GDH has consistently delivered quality candidates closely matching expected requirements,” noted one of the bank’s IT leaders.

Rather than focusing on large-scale projects, GDH provided IT staff for multiple smaller, yet critical, initiatives. The ongoing support included project managers, software developers, quality assurance specialists, and business analysts, ensuring that every project was covered from all technical angles.

“The recruiting team is very attentive and even proactive in sending over qualified candidates,” added the bank’s HR manager, emphasizing GDH’s dedication to meeting their staffing needs promptly and efficiently.

When the bank suffered a staff shortage recently, GDH helped them adapt by tapping into a remote talent pool, which allowed them to overcome geographic limitations and access a wider range of skilled professionals.

RESULT:

Through its strategic staffing and commitment to relationship-building, GDH has fortified its partnership with the bank. More than 150 candidates were placed in various roles, showcasing GDH’s capability to scale and adjust according to the bank’s requirements.

“GDH does a great job at supporting us. GDH is proactive, responsive, and takes the time to fully understand our requirements and knows our culture and strives to find candidates that meet our needs,” said the client.

The success of this partnership highlights GDH’s ability to provide not only skilled IT staff but also the trust and reliability needed for a thriving, ongoing collaboration.
