Client Success Stories

Company: Leading retail bank

Scope of Solution: Cyber security and customer data (loss) protection projects

For over ten years, Aquinas has been one of their leading technology staffing vendors providing resources for multiple cybersecurity and customer data (loss) protection projects within their company. We have excelled in providing both security consulting professionals and permanent candidates for them. Our unique understanding the technology, local market and talent pool allowed Aquinas to successfully find people with financial credit card fraud detection and prevention experience in addition to the technical skill set required (in many cases roles requiring CISSP and/or PMP). In 2015 Aquinas staffed a major Intrusion Prevention project with candidates in CT, UT, and Il.

Because of our performance, we continue to provide placements for the development of additional products, processes, compliance, or code reviews on an as-needed basis.

Company: Major Hotel Chain

Scope of Solution: Program and Project Management

A major hotel chain needed to upgrade their project management capabilities in order to implement better controls on large software development projects. They engaged Aquinas’s support to build a program officer and to upscale the capabilities of the project management team. Aquinas worked with the hotel company’s leadership to identify the key competencies needed for a successful candidate and then worked to change the recruiting profile to better focus on the right talent. After hiring a new team and implementing better project controls, the client better identified project risks, reduced the number of projects over budget and achieved on-time delivery of key projects.

 

Company: Media and marketing company

Scope of Solution: Permanent Oracle Applications Recruiting

A national media and marketing company was having trouble finding skilled Oracle Applications resources and were paying high consulting fees for out of town resources because they could not fill their permanent jobs. After more than 12 months of failed efforts using other contingent search firms, they engaged Aquinas. Within 8 weeks Aquinas had filled 3 key roles and filled 5 others before year end. The client achieved significant costs savings as a result of this effort.
