Nextens, a leading tax software provider under LexisNexis Risk Solutions, has transformed the tax industry in the Netherlands with innovative software that optimises and accelerates tax processes. However, when embarking on a mission to develop a powerful new search engine, the company faced a significant challenge: sourcing the right talent in a highly competitive market.
Venquis stepped in with a tailored staffing solution, sending a dedicated project team to work directly with Nextens at its headquarters. This rapid approach significantly reduced hiring time, enabling Nextens to move forward with its project.
Key Takeaways
Talent Gap Challenge
Nextens’s search engine project was delayed due to the competitive labour market and lack of skilled talent.
Venquis’s Tailored Staffing
Venquis deployed a dedicated project team, working directly with Nextens to streamline the hiring process.
Rapid Results
Venquis helped Nextens onboard all key personnel in just two and a half months, allowing the project to move ahead quickly and efficiently.
Venquis Stepped in to Bridge Nextens’ Skills Gap Challenge
Venquis quickly understood the challenge Nextens had. The company needed to scale its internal capacity to support business critical digital transformation projects. But finding and securing highly skilled Testers and Developers who could seamlessly integrate into the Nextens’ team was proving challenging.
Venquis understood the urgency – and specific skillsets required – to bring Nextens plan to life and hit the ground running.
How Venquis Cut Nextens’ Staffing Time from Seven Months to Just Two and a Half
To meet these needs, Venquis assembled a dedicated project team and developed a clear, customised project roadmap. Within two weeks, the Talent Delivery team identified and presented qualified candidates through a targeted engagement and screening process.
This approach allowed Venquis to work more efficiently. We completed the project in just two and a half months – a significant reduction from the seven-month struggle Nextens had previously endured.
The new, local Dutch team members were fully onboarded at Nextens state-of-the-art Millennium tower office, enabling the company to continue its digital transformation efforts without further delay.
