Simcorp - C# Devs Case Study

The challenge

#1

A hyper-specific skillset  that is difficult to find. During their 8-week search, Simcorp’s TA team presented 40-50 candidates however many missed the mark due to misalignment.

Impact: 

not enough quality or committed candidates in the pipeline. 

#2

Their TA team was working at overcapacity  and didn’t have the time to properly pre-screen software engineers before sending them to hiring managers for interview.

This was primarily driven by the heavy global hiring load their TA team was handling.

Impact: 

hiring managers wasting time with uncommitted and unsuitable candidates.

#3

Having all new starters join within 8 weeks for SimCorp’s training academy.

Together, SimCorp’s hiring managers in Sydney & Copenhagen, and 3XP’s team devised a strategy to meet their needs.

Impact: 

76 C# WinForms developers identified through our TAM mapping. This gave the exec team confidence to switch locations.
