The Challenge

 

Sky faced a critical shortage of Full Stack Engineers (9 immediate vacancies) for their Centre of Excellence in Scotland. Traditional recruitment methods were taking 4-6 months, threatening product release timelines. Additionally, Sky had strict DEI targets to improve female representation in technology roles.

​

The Solution

 

CodeVerse developed a bespoke 8-week training academy aligned with Sky’s specific technology stack. The process focused on aptitude-based recruitment to identify high-potential talent that traditional channels missed, followed by client-specific upskilling and mentoring throughout the deployment.

​

Results & Business Outcomes
 

• Productivity: Consultants became effective, productive team members within just 4 weeks of deployment.

• Strategic Diversity: Achieved 56% female representation in the squad (vs 22% national average), directly supporting Sky's strategic DEI objectives.

• Stability: 100% retention rate one year after transitioning to full-time Sky employees.
