Context

Since their founding in 2009, our client has become the world’s largest and fastest growing recruitment process outsourcing provider. Although they were making data driven decisions, their core was based on spreadsheets.

However, with their rapid growth these spreadsheets were no longer scalable. Spreadsheets that were once the bread and butter of the operations team had become unwieldy and error prone.

Their initial inclination was to implement or build out a reporting solution.
