For over 50 years, Capgemini have delivered transformative business solutions to their clients through leading-edge tech, industry expertise and a highly talented workforce. They faced challenges attracting top talent in a candidate-short market, compounded by UK mobility and security clearance requirements. Partnering with Trust in SODA, Capgemini benefited from dedicated resources, tailored searches, specialized teams, and a global network. SODA quickly became a top supplier, exceeding hiring targets annually and supporting high-volume projects for major clients like Deliveroo, John Lewis, EDF, and public sector organisations.

Setting the strategy for all five of the Comave businesses, we provided a linked ecosystem for talent attraction and management.

We successfully recruited across Sales, Technology, Engineering, Operations and Marketing, from Junior to C Suite including the COO, across Europe, covering Eastern Europe, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and France, as well as the UK.

QUANTSPARK

QuantSpark are a strategic analytics and AI consultancy that supercharges its clients’ operating models with advanced technology and bespoke, data-driven products.

After being recommended to QuantSpark by a previous customer, Trust in SODA was engaged alongside competing agencies to deliver a critical leadership role; however, due to SODA’s fast provision of high-quality profiles, the team was soon retained exclusively.

QuantSpark were looking for a blend of deep technical expertise and management experience, and they were operating inside strict budget parameters.

SODA conducted cultural interviews, competitor analysis, market mapping, and technical testing to ensure the right fit for the role, ultimately filling the position on time and in budget.

SODA provided constant communication and flexibility. Our business has a number of nuances that make recruitment challenging, and the SODA team constantly worked with us to ensure they were providing the best possible service. Not only from a client POV but based on candidate feedback, it was clear that SODA provides a thoughtful candidate experience. The team was flexible on fees and is looking for a long-term relationship. Our business does not typically work with agencies, and I'd be keen to partner with them again on an as-needed basis.
