Delivering Cost-Effective Dynamics 365 F&O Talent for Oil & Gas Services
When an established oil & gas services company approached us with a critical need for Dynamics 365 F&O consultants, they were facing a dual challenge: finding highly qualified talent while managing budget constraints. They had been working with a solutions firm, but the costs were becoming unsustainable for long-term engagement.
THE CHALLENGE: HIGH COST, LIMITED FLEXIBILITY
Our client needed experts who could integrate seamlessly into their new implementation project but were concerned that the high costs associated with their current solutions provider would limit their ability to maintain talent over time.
OUR SOLUTION: HANDPICKED TALENT AT HALF THE COST
Leveraging our extensive network and industry insights, we quickly identified a shortlist of top-tier Dynamics 365 F&O consultants. Within a short time, the client was able to hand-pick two consultants from our pool, each highly qualified and experienced in the oil & gas sector. These candidates not only had the right technical expertise but also demonstrated the potential for long-term collaboration—providing flexibility for future scaling.
THE RESULTS: MAXIMIZING VALUE WHILE CUTTING COSTS
By partnering with us, the client secured consultants who cost nearly 50% less than those from their solutions provider—without compromising on quality. These consultants have already contributed significant value to the implementation project, and the savings have allowed the client to consider long-term contracts, ensuring continuity and stability.
Our ability to swiftly deliver qualified talent, coupled with significant cost savings, enabled the client to focus on what truly matters: driving their project forward without being hampered by budgetary limitations.
Quick Turnaround Helped Industrial Services Client Address an Unexpected Resignation with Zero Disruption to the Project
After an unexpected resignation from their lead Full Stack Developer, our client needed to interview and onboard a backfill immediately to ensure their replacement had time with the incumbent for knowledge transfer. Within 24 hours of getting the requirement from the CIO, Whitaker had submitted 3 profiles of excellent candidates local to the area who were available to start immediately. The shortlisted candidates were interviewed, offer accepted and onboarding were completed within 10 days, allowing 2 days to be spent focused on knowledge transfer with the outgoing Developer.
Since coming onboard, the candidate has been working on custom development projects and has established himself as a leader for the development team.
“Incredible, integrity is what comes to mind. I can rely on what your team says to happen. If I need a change, we discuss the adjustments and they’ve been able to extend a resource and it is all done with tremendous respect. You put the customer first, follow the golden rule, represent good people and have excellent follow through.” – VP, Information Technology, Houston
SMEs Hired and Onboarded Within 4 Days to Ensure Salesforce Project Rollout for Legal Services Client
Facing an urgent Salesforce production rollout scheduled for the week of Thanksgiving, our client needed last minute SMEs – 3 Salesforce Developers and 1 Salesforce Administrator – to ensure a successful rollout. After receiving the job requirements from the VP of Applications on a Thursday, within 24 hours 12 prequalified candidates were under client review. The shortlisted candidates were interviewed over the weekend and the selected candidates started two days later after completing drug & background checks.
The client has been happy with the selected project team and is making strides towards completing their rollout across the organization.
Flexible Staffing Solutions Help Specialty Chemicals Company with Urgent Staffing Needs
Facing a talent shortage and increased demand for their products, our client needed help meeting its urgent staffing needs while ensuring the professionals were the right “fit” for their company. Whitaker offered a flexible staffing solution in a contract to hire arrangement so the hiring managers could determine fit prior to hiring full time.
Client was pleased with the opportunity to evaluate the person, and the contract to hire option was more cost effective for them.
““The marketplace is very tight for the types of skills we need. With the baby boomers retiring, there are fewer mid-level managers to move up the ladder and just not enough junior-level managers to fill the roles. So we have to go outside at times. Whitaker has provided us with excellent consultants, and nearly every person we’ve hired through the years on a contract-to-hire basis through Whitaker is still here. I would definitely recommend them—and already have.” – HR Manager
