Approach

Recruiting Right Talent

GDI specializes in recruiting teams of consultants who build high-performance enterprise solutions that meet a client’s unique business needs. With an exceptionally high retention rate, GDI ensures that projects are delivered successfully, on time and within budget.

Our track record of exceeding client expectations is a result of a finely honed recruitment process combined with a unique engagement management approach that ensures high levels of involvement among our consultants.

A key element in our recruitment process is ResourceTrax™, a proprietary recruitment and resource management tool refined through successful engagements across technologies and verticals. ResourceTrax™ enables us to quickly build teams of consultants who have the right mix of business acumen, technical expertise and attitude to solve problems.

In addition, we have specialized recruitment teams who leverage a variety of sources –including the ResourceTrax™ database and our large network – to identify potential consultants when those on staff do not completely match the current assignment.

GDI then conducts multiple levels of interviews. These include:

  • A preliminary interview, where we gauge levels of interest and commitment, ensure all paperwork is in order and determine availability

  • A comprehensive interview by our team recruitment experts, where we determine fit for requirements, investigate project experience, assess business and technical expertise and gauge the consultant’s soft skills. At this stage, we will also conduct background and reference checks, as necessary.

  • In-depth technical interview by a panel of technical experts. Here we determine the depth and breadth of consultant’s expertise in the skills relevant to the client, explore the consultant’s specific experience in these technologies and seek information on similar environments and projects in the consultant’s professional history.

Only if consultants receive a high score on all of our internal parameters do we recommend them.

After we deploy our teams on a project, we continuously interact with them, monitoring their progress, bridging communication gaps, helping overcome roadblocks and even counseling on any issues. As a result of this thorough process, we have an enviable high retention rate.
