Tarka Talent has partnered with Capgemini Invent, the strategy and transformation arm of Capgemini, for several years, supporting the continued expansion of its UK consulting practice.
Scaling transformation capability at Capgemini Invent
As demand for large-scale digital transformation programmes has grown across both the public and private sectors, Capgemini Invent has needed to strengthen its consulting teams to support increasingly complex client engagements.
Through this long-standing relationship, Tarka Talent has worked closely with the business across multiple hiring cycles, helping to identify high-calibre consultants who can operate across both strategy and delivery within large transformation programmes.
Challenges they faced
As Capgemini Invent secured new transformation programmes across sectors such as the public sector, the firm needed to rapidly expand its consulting capability at several levels.
The brief focused on identifying consultants who could support clients through complex transformation initiatives, from shaping strategic direction through to delivering large-scale digital change. Candidates needed to combine strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to operate effectively in demanding consulting environments, while maintaining the collaborative culture Capgemini Invent is known for.
Recruitment solutions
Capgemini Invent partnered with Tarka Talent due to our specialist focus on transformation and strategy consulting and our strong network across the consulting market.
Working closely with the internal recruitment team, we ran targeted searches focused on consultants from leading firms who demonstrated the right blend of structured thinking, transformation experience and consulting mindset. Rather than prioritising volume, we focused on delivering a highly curated shortlist of candidates aligned with both the technical requirements of the roles and the culture of the practice.
We also ensured role positioning, candidate engagement and market messaging were aligned with the firm’s wider growth strategy, helping to attract consultants motivated by the scale and impact of Capgemini Invent’s client work.
The results
Through this partnership, Tarka Talent has successfully placed multiple consultants into Capgemini Invent’s UK practice, strengthening the firm’s ability to deliver complex transformation programmes for clients.
These hires have supported the continued growth of the practice, enabling Capgemini Invent to scale delivery capability while maintaining the high consulting standards expected by its clients.
