Building IFS delivery teams across Europe for a major integrator.
How we helped Arcwide deliver high-calibre IFS talent across DACH, CEE and the UK to keep complex transformation projects on track.
29
hires
Across consulting, architecture, finance, supply chain, FSM, software and commercial.
7
countries
Covered across DACH, CEE, Benelux and the UK.
6
Core IFS disciplines supported.
Brief
With multiple IFS Cloud programmes operating simultaneously across the globe, Arcwide have a consistent need for specialists across a variety of IFS disciplines.
They partnered with us for access to a steady stream of experienced consultants, solution architects and commercial specialists across key markets.
Challenges
The IFS talent pool is in constant demand, especially across DACH and Eastern Europe, and most qualified candidates are receiving several offers at any one time.
Roles demand combinations of domain depth, language fluency and, in some cases, relocation readiness. Arcwide’s internal teams face consistent delivery pressure as new projects kick off, so specialist agency partnerships are essential to keep up with demand.
Approach
- Mapped the IFS talent landscape across partner networks, competitors and independent consultancies to uncover high-performing, often passive profiles.
- Ran a unified search process across regions, keeping specifications, shortlists and feedback loops tightly aligned between hiring managers and HR.
- Conducted outreach and screening to ensure technical depth and client-facing capability, while managing expectations around mobility and availability.
- Supported offer negotiations and relocation logistics to secure cross-border hires quickly and smoothly.
- Ensured coordination between regional leaders and the central talent team, keeping delivery momentum consistent across every market.
