THE CHALLENGE

Our Client, a large North American utility company, is committed to both delivering energy to their consumers and improving the operation and reliability of their systems. Finding technology experts who truly grasp the intricacies of the energy sector - from power grids and pipelines to complex energy trading systems - presented them with a significant challenge.  

This difficulty, compounded by legacy infrastructure and the constant evolution of digital demands within the industry created an urgency for sourcing skilled professionals. Specifically, they needed experienced individuals to design, build, and configure cloud-native applications tailored to their unique business processes. 

The Client was also looking for experts to help with organizing and managing IT services. This included software systems, asset management, and software engineering best practices, along with finding ways to reuse existing tools and resources to improve operational efficiency. They needed experts to: 

  • Design and develop new platforms based on Azure Cloud Technology  
  • Design and develop a new services platform to track the high volume of updated electric connections, disconnections, and reconnections, alongside managing solar energy and gas requests  
  • Provide organizational change management and end-user training services to support process adoption for internal and external users 
  • Generate contractor orientation training for power generation sites.   

A Cayuse partnership ensued, and we enlisted staffing solutions to bring deep expertise and fill skill gaps quickly, to reduce overhead, create solutions, and boost productivity.      

THE SOLUTION

Several staffing resources were needed to enhance operational agility and expand business processes. Cayuse met with the Client to learn more about the needs required for these roles, which included: 

  • Scope of contract duration  
  • Location of work performance: remote, onsite, or a hybrid approach  
  • Information on the targeted rate range  
  • The minimum years of experience preferred 
  • The parameters of the schedule and time zone  
  • The specifics on background check requirements  
  • The desired and required skillsets 

With years of experience selecting resources for clients, Cayuse was at-the-ready with a strong pipeline of appropriate applicants. In order to accelerate the hiring timeline, we recruited, prescreened, and vetted candidates in advance.   

After having reviewed prospective resumes, we then scheduled time for the Client to interview their top choices. We offered onshore and low-cost geographic resources for budget comparison. We offered full time, part time, seasonal, and project-based resources. We included Cayuse-direct resources, 1099 contractors, and corporation-to-corporation contractors.  

Once the candidates were selected, Cayuse initiated the onboarding process which included background checks, drug screenings, and contract negotiations. Cayuse representatives worked with the client to complete the onboarding and help to deliver hardware enablement and training.   

OUTCOME

Cayuse saved the Client a great amount of time in finding the right fit and managing the associated resources and requirements. Overhead was minimized and the strain on HR was removed.As our Client continues to grow and accelerate within their own innovation in the energy industry, Cayuse remains a reliable source of highly skilled professionals unique to this sector.
