Executive Summary
The client is one of the most recognized names in American industry—a steelmaking leader navigating digital transformation, automation, and escalating cybersecurity demands. They recognized early that workforce quality would determine the speed and success of their modernization.
Logix Guru has partnered with this organization for years, placing dozens of professionals across cybersecurity, architecture, automation, engineering, and frontline IT. The roles highlighted here represent a fraction of our placements but demonstrate our range: from senior SIEM leaders and solution architects to Power Platform developers and desktop support specialists.
This partnership has gone beyond filling requisitions. We've helped shape the client's capacity to compete in a digital-first industrial economy.
The Challenge
The client operates at the intersection of industrial tradition and technological transformation. While steelmaking remains foundational, growth now depends on advanced manufacturing systems, data-driven operations, and secure IT infrastructure.
They faced four critical workforce challenges:
Cybersecurity Readiness
Industrial systems and intellectual property required protection from increasingly sophisticated threats. The client needed experts in SIEM operations, Splunk platforms, and incident response.
System Modernization
Legacy mainframe applications needed migration to modern platforms. This demanded architects and developers fluent in both legacy systems and contemporary technology stacks.
Automation at Scale
Remaining competitive meant reimagining workflows through AI and low-code tools. Power Platform developers and automation engineers became essential.
Operational Continuity
Beyond strategic hires, the organization needed reliable desktop and application support staff to maintain uptime across plants and corporate offices.
The challenge wasn't simply finding talent—it was finding the right talent at scale, consistently, and aligned with both immediate project demands and long-term strategic priorities.
Our Approach
From day one, we treated this as a partnership rather than a transactional staffing exercise.
Deep Discovery
Every engagement began with listening—understanding the nuances of industrial IT, the skill sets required to sustain manufacturing systems, and the broader strategy driving modernization.
Adaptive Talent Strategy
Rather than reacting to requisitions, we developed an evolving recruitment model that mirrored the client's transformation journey:
- Early phase: Desktop support experts ensuring uptime for mission-critical systems
- Modernization phase: Business solution architects leading mainframe migration
- Security phase: Senior SIEM leaders designing and operationalizing cyber defenses
- Automation phase: PowerApps and workflow engineers accelerating efficiency gains
Embedded Partnership
The longevity of our relationship allowed us to anticipate hiring needs, maintain warm talent pipelines, and eliminate delays on critical projects. We continuously recalibrated sourcing strategies to align with the client's evolving digital roadmap.
Our methodology combined rigorous technical screening with cultural alignment—matching candidates not just to job requirements, but to the organization's industrial DNA and work ethic.
