200+ RPO Hires in Sr. IT Positions - Pinnacle Group A large media firm needed to significantly grow its internal technology group. Their internal efforts to date, coupled with various search firm engagements, had yielded minimal results to date, putting them well behind their internal hiring targets.

We believe in the power of customized, solution-focused approaches to solve complex business challenges – including helping a leading insurer expand its contingent labor program internationally, encompassing both staffing and services procurement.

The Challenge: Against two incumbents both touting extensive international footprints and engrained in our client's US-based operations, we were determined to showcase our strategic approach as an MSP, our deep understanding of the client's selected VMS technology, and relationship nurturing.

Our strategy? A solution-centric, highly customized approach led by a curated team of recruitment and procurement experts to address our client's nuanced requirements. In addition to being the first MSP to successfully implement a program using the client's VMS platform in Chile, we also navigated unique local challenges, and ensuring adherence to local laws and tax regulations.
Today, we’re proud to have implemented a combined staffing/services procurement MSP/VMS program across multiple countries that is ready for future growth and adapt as spend in additional countries continues to grow.

Pinnacle Group, Inc. is featured in Women's Enterprise Magazine (WE USA) celebrating 10 years of success with Comcast! We could not be more proud of the work we’ve done together to deliver innovative and inclusive procurement in professional services. Comcast is a true leader in the supplier diversity space and we have seen firsthand the difference their commitment makes to their suppliers and to the results they are able to achieve. Our CEO, Nina Vaca, said it best. “Companies often give minority-owned firms commodity business- not strategic and impactful work. Comcast’s vision of having Pinnacle play a strategic role in something so important demonstrated that it was already thinking bigger than most companies about diversity and inclusion.”

A decade-long relationship with an underperforming MSP had left a leading utility company in a rut, with low spend, significant compliance issues, and nearly non-existent customer satisfaction. What's more, the challenge was not just about replacing an MSP, but also transitioning from a proprietary VMS technology to a commercial one - all with minimal support from the outgoing MSP/VMS provider.

Our expertise in dealing with incumbent MSPs, robust data mining & transformation capabilities, and our time-tested VMS implementation methodology came to the rescue. We took control of the situation, operating with minimum cooperation from the outgoing MSP/VMS provider.

Our deep expertise in VMS implementation enabled a seamless and accurate data transfer process. From notifying suppliers to developing program documentation, onboarding materials, and data extractions – our team ensured implementation was on time and without external support.

Moreover, we identified and rectified numerous compliance errors, mitigating risks, and setting up a highly performing program that meets the client's stringent compliance and reporting needs.

The result? High customer satisfaction, strong compliance, and a massive surge in program growth. In the past two years alone, program growth has exceeded 100% as more business units trust us as their preferred talent partner.

We’re excited to share a case study where we've helped an international tech client enhance their talent acquisition process!

Faced with a shrinking talent pool, we were tasked with overhauling the client's internal recruitment function. The shrinking talent pool and reduced team size were not adequate to meet their growing IT needs.

Focusing on improving customer experience, performance ratios, and the overall process quality, we boosted efficiency and customer satisfaction using the same resources, but with a 40% reduction in team size, reflecting in an improved Net Promoter Score and customer feedback.

A challenging portion of this engagement was tackling cycle times; we overcame this by enhancing processes, communication, and training, leading to improved fill and offer acceptance ratios and when a new business unit wanted to join the program, we worked closely with their leadership to tailor our program to their specific IT talent needs. This led to them filling most of their critical positions successfully, with our program's best practices and strategic advice.

Our aim is always to use our expertise and analytics to serve our customers in the best possible way. By leveraging our industry leading experience, best practices, analytics, and executive leadership, we were able to swiftly transform our customer’s internally managed program and amplify its strategic impact.
