Tarka Talent

Scrum Inc case study

Tarka Talent partnered with Scrum Inc several years ago as the business looked to strengthen its UK consulting capability and expand its transformation leadership team. 

Strengthening transformation leadership for Scrum Inc 

As demand for agile transformation and large-scale change programmes continued to grow, Scrum Inc required experienced leaders who could represent the business credibly within complex client environments. 

Through this partnership, Tarka Talent supported the firm in identifying senior transformation professionals who could help scale delivery capability while maintaining the high standards associated with the Scrum Inc brand. 

Challenges they faced

Scrum Inc was seeking Transformation Leaders who could operate confidently at senior client levels, lead complex change programmes, and embed agile ways of working across large organisations. 

The challenge lay in identifying individuals who combined deep transformation delivery experience with strong commercial awareness and the ability to represent the Scrum Inc brand effectively in demanding consulting environments. These leaders needed to balance strategic thinking with hands-on delivery, while also building trusted relationships with senior stakeholders. 

Recruitment solutions
Scrum Inc partnered with Tarka Talent due to our specialist network across transformation, agility and consulting leadership roles, and our ability to navigate nuanced briefs where cultural fit and delivery credibility are just as important as technical expertise. 

Working closely with the leadership team, we developed a detailed understanding of Scrum Inc’s delivery model, team culture and the leadership capability required to support their growth plans. Leveraging our transformation network, we identified and engaged high-calibre candidates with proven experience leading complex change initiatives and operating within consulting environments. 

The results
Scrum Inc successfully appointed Transformation Leaders who have strengthened delivery capability across the UK consulting practice.

These hires have enabled the business to scale client engagements with confidence, lead high-impact transformation programmes and support Scrum Inc’s continued growth in the UK market. The new leaders quickly embedded themselves within client environments, delivering immediate value while reinforcing Scrum Inc’s reputation for excellence in transformation delivery.

Our experience working with Tarka Talent has been thoroughly positive and reassuring. In an area as crucial as talent acquisition, finding a partner who genuinely aligns with your standards is essential, and Tarka Talent has certainly proven to be that for Scrum Inc. Right from the outset, we appreciated their measured approach. They were adept at listening to our specific needs and clearly prioritizing our requirements. We never felt pressured; they were clearly focused on partnership and problem-solving, which was a welcome change, they simply got on with the job rather than trying to sell us something. The consistency and high level of transparency they maintain throughout their process have been particularly commendable. Everything is straightforward, which fosters a genuinely collaborative working relationship. We consider them an honest and reliable extension of our own team. Ultimately, Tarka Talent provides high trust and high support. They deliver strong results without any unnecessary fuss or fanfare. We view them as a highly effective and dependable partner, and we would comfortably recommend their services.

I had an excellent experience working with you and your team throughout my job search. You consistently focused on understanding my needs as a candidate and represented them clearly to the hiring organisation. I especially appreciated your support during contract negotiations—you advocated on my behalf to secure favourable terms while keeping the entire process simple, transparent, and stress-free. A special thanks to Richard for his quick response when I first reached out about exploring new roles. His support came at a time when I really needed it, and I’m genuinely grateful for his responsiveness. Thank you again for making this transition smooth and for truly putting the candidate first.
