The challenge:
High volumes of security cleared IT professionals were needed to power a major technology transformation for a UK police force.
Embarking on an ambitious four year programme to foster an unprecedented transformation in their use of digital technology, the goal was for new, fast and flexible online services which would allow citizens to interact with them in a variety of ways.
Behind the scenes, new policing systems, information management and infrastructure platforms would provide the foundation for a step change in their IT capability, but they needed a workforce of highly skilled IT professionals to deliver it.
To support the programme, there was an immediate requirement to source 140 IT specialists into seven core programmes within three to six months. These hard-to-find skillsets ranged from solutions architects through to DevOps, from test specialists to scrum masters, and change managers to UX designers.
