The Challenge
The client operates across multiple states with thousands of employees and millions of customers. As banking increasingly depends on technology-driven services, they faced four critical workforce obstacles:
Complex Technology Landscape
The bank's reliance on homegrown applications, enterprise data warehouses, and large-scale system integrations demanded professionals skilled in application support, QA testing, and data management—a rare combination.
Regulatory and Compliance Pressure
Meeting strict banking regulations required expertise in metadata management, governance, and accurate reporting, all supported by robust data infrastructure.
Acute Talent Shortage
Finding professionals who combined deep technical knowledge (AWS, Snowflake, Alation, SQL, automation) with banking domain expertise proved exceptionally difficult in a competitive labor market.
Project Delays
Critical transformation initiatives stalled due to skill gaps, lengthy hiring cycles, and limited access to specialized QA and systems engineering talent.
Open roles—Application Support Engineer, Lead QA Analyst, Business Systems Analyst, Metadata Lead, QA Tester—each required niche technical skills, cross-functional collaboration ability, and banking-specific domain awareness. Securing this combination at scale was the core challenge.
