‍Background

A top automotive manufacturer was struggling to find local talent specializing in the tech skills it needed. The company approached Revature to help it build a skills-based team at scale with the right pyramid mix of junior and experienced resources locally.

Challenge

The primary challenges faced by the automotive manufacturer were:
· Limited junior talent pool available in the market
· Inability to attract the right talent locally – both in terms of skillset and cost – and then train junior talent
· Lack of a cost-effective talent strategy and long-term plan

Solution

Revature proposed a comprehensive, end-to-end talent development and acquisition strategy consisting of three phases:
· Talent Strategy and Assessment
· Customized Training Solutions
· Deployment of Skilled Talent and Ongoing Support

Talent Strategy and Assessment

Revature began by understanding the automotive manufacturer’s specific skills needs and intake criteria.
