The Challenge

Our client urgently needed to implement a new timekeeping and workforce management system for its distributed workforce of case managers. The timeline was tight: only 4 weeks to fill 7 senior technical roles—despite the execution window overlapping with the holiday season.

Missing these hires would have significantly disrupted payroll and operations for frontline staff serving vulnerable populations.

Critical constraints included:

  • Tight deadline: Hiring needed to be complete by early January despite holiday closures
  • High stakes: System failure would have interrupted payroll functions for frontline employees
  • Specialized needs: Roles required senior-level expertise and familiarity with healthcare tech ecosystems
