Overview
Odyss empowered a major bank in the US by tackling critical skill gaps while fulfilling pressing hiring needs within a short timeframe. This case study highlights Odyss role in crafting and executing a tailored HTD model aimed at recruiting and training consultants.
Problem Statement
Difficulty in implementing a sustainable solution to address skill gaps and enhance the bank's long-term talent pool
The urgency to complete the hiring process within a tight window of 4-6 weeks
Challenges in identifying and addressing specific skill gaps to ensure project success and efficiency
Business Goals
Ensure seamless integration of hired consultants
Fill approximately 100 open requisitions for roles in Java Microservices and Angular
Minimize disruptions and delays in project teams
Solutions
- Odyss collaborated with the bank to evaluate the existing skill gaps within the
organization. A comprehensive and customized Hire, Train, and Deploy (HTD)
program was developed and implemented to address the identified skill gaps
and meet project-specific demands. - To facilitate the seamless delivery of the HTD program, the internal Applicant
Tracking System (ATS) and candidate assessment system were leveraged. This
integration allowed for efficient management of the hiring process. - All recruited consultants underwent a 4-week immersive upskilling program
comprising intensive training in Java Microservices and Angular, building
practical skills and expertise relevant to the bank’s projects. - Odyss implemented an analytics-enabled Learning Management System (LMS)
tool to deliver and track progress during the sessions. This ensured real-time
visibility of consultant performance, learning progress, areas for improvement,
and the support required.
Outcome
90 Consultants successfully passed and deployed to the project from 6 batches (i.e. Attrition was <10%)
The dropout rate maintained below 5%, indicating high engagement and commitment among participants
Created robust talent pipeline
