- What is your primary business?
- What does your competitive landscape look like?
- What are the current and future business environments?
- What are the primary and secondary business drivers?
- What typical business problems do companies in the same vertical face?
- What technology drives the business?
Qualifying the Requirements
When you approach us with a requirement for consultants, we seek to understand the underlying needs.

We have a robust requirements gathering process that enables us to precisely capture your needs. You may approach us for assistance in a specific area, and upon careful evaluation of reuirements you may discover that the basis of the problem is elsewhere. In these instances, our approach to clarifying and defining requirements not only helps accurately pinpoint the problems, but also saves time and money by setting the right course of action from the outset.
We will strive to find information such as:
- What business issues need to be solved?
- What skills and expertise do you seek?
- What are your expectations?
- What timelines and milestones need to be met?
- What are some of the other constraints that exist?
Finding the Right Mix of Consultants
After we accurately capture your requirements, we leverage our tested Recruitment and Retention Process to quickly find and deploy teams of consultants with the right mix of skills and attitude.
Recruiting The Right Talent

GDI specializes in recruiting teams of consultants who build high-performance enterprise solutions that meet your 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 our internal database of candidates. 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.
- Background checks are conducted if specifically requested by the client as well.
- Only if consultants receive a high score on all of our internal parameters do we recommend them.
Managing the teams and the engagement
Our team building process does not end with the deployment of consultants to a project, however. Leveraging our Engagement Management Process, our engagement manager remains actively involved to ensure that our consultants deliver tangible business results that solve the client's problems.
