Company Overview
This organization is a mid-size holding company that specializes in acquiring and managing dessert manufacturing businesses across the United States and Canada. As part of their growth, they are implementing Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365) across their various locations. To support this, they required specialized information technology talent to supplement the efforts of their primary implementation partner. Dahl Consulting (DAHL) partnered with this holdings company to provide them with the skilled IT professionals needed to complete this pressing implementation.
Hiring Challenges
DAHL was first introduced to this financial services company due to the successes of its sister staffing company (Doherty Staffing Solutions) at a dessert manufacturer within this holding company’s portfolio. This holdings company was facing higher recruitment costs by relying on their primary Microsoft Dynamics implementor, so they needed a more cost-effective solution without compromising the quality of the talent, as these roles were critical to their D365 implementation across multiple facilities. Additionally, their internal IT infrastructure team required more in-house support, as they were growing alongside the company’s expansion. DAHL needed to find a technology recruitment solution to fill these IT roles quickly and efficiently to ensure the seamless success of the technology implementation.
Workforce Solutions
DAHL provided highly skilled IT contractors to complement the implementor’s efforts and reduce costs. DAHL’s IT professionals took on 12 key roles, including Network Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer, Business Analyst, HRIS Analyst, Financial Operations Analyst, Systems Administrator, and more. The placements for these technology roles effectively filled the gaps left by the Microsoft Dynamics 365 implementor at less than half the cost.
Throughout the partnership, DAHL worked closely with the company’s Chief Information Officer, ensuring the IT staffing solutions aligned with both the immediate needs of the D365 implementation and the long-term growth of their IT department. DAHL also provided guidance on job descriptions and talent acquisition strategies, contributing to the overall success of the technology recruitment initiatives.
Key Results
Through its partnership with DAHL, this holdings company streamlined its IT operations, effectively filling critical IT roles while enhancing team cohesion across its D365 implementation. Dahl Consulting successfully placed approximately 10% of the company’s IT team, helping to alleviate the high costs associated with the Microsoft Dynamics implementor. The partnership with DAHL provided a sustainable, long-term IT staffing solution that could scale with the company’s future growth. The company continues to work with DAHL for both contract and permanent IT roles, fostering a true staffing partnership built on trust and collaboration.
“Working with Dahl Consulting has been amazing. They provided the technical expertise we needed at a fraction of the cost, allowing us to seamlessly implement Microsoft Dynamics 365 without compromising quality or efficiency.” -Hiring Manager
