Hire Train Deploy

Harness the power of future-ready talent.

What is Hire Train Deploy?

Hire Train Deploy (HTD) is a cost-effective and socially conscious way to utilise flexible resource, build a tech talent pipeline, improve your team’s diversity and reduce ever-expanding skills gaps. But only a global talent business with our critical mass of clients, candidates and consultants can deliver the skills you need - and the long-term training, support and opportunities that high-potential people deserve.

How does Hire Train Deploy work?

HTD programmes deliver the flexible, accredited skills your business needs, without the responsibility and cost of managing the learning and development journeys of early-in-career talent. For a single, all-in fee, we transform high-potential candidates into high-impact tech consultants.

We hire and assess diverse, early-in career talent and employ them from day one. We set up bespoke bootcamps to develop the technical and commercial skills training they need to hit the ground running. We coach and mentor their careers throughout their placement. And after 24 months, our consultants join your team permanently, or are redeployed. 

Key benefits

  • Improved workforce visibility 
  • Cost control, avoidance and savings  
  • Process compliance and risk mitigation 
  • Scalability in meeting resourcing demands 
  • Greater access to non-permanent talent 
  • Increase the diversity of your workforce

An award-winning service

Fresh talent, ready to go

Our HTD programmes give you access to a fresh and flexible pipeline of early-in-career 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 bringing 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 24 months, our consultants transition to be a permanent part of your team or redeploy with a new role or client.

What makes our solutions different?
 

 

The size and scope of our global talent solutions business and our expertise in recruitment, assessment, and training enables us to deliver bespoke, de-risked, candidate-friendly HTD programmes that deliver the accredited skills you need.

 

By focusing on skills-based recruitment and development, HTD promotes diversity and social mobility. We help you discover untapped potential and increase access to the tech industry for candidates from under-represented or disadvantaged groups.

 

There are no hidden costs with HTD. Our daily consultant rate covers their recruitment, training, onboarding, development, and retention, including ongoing support and mentoring, career planning, salary increases and loyalty bonuses.
