Razer Gold has collaborated with Savvycom since 2022 to address critical staffing needs as it scaled. Over the past two years, Savvycom has provided six high-caliber professionals for pivotal roles.
Challenges
- Resource Optimization: Razer Gold needed to manage internal resources efficiently while rapidly scaling time-sensitive projects, with an external partner delivering immediate solutions without overloading internal teams.
- Integration of Processes and Standards: New hires had to integrate smoothly into established workflows and follow strict code standards and development processes to ensure project continuity.
- Specialized Skill Requirements: Projects demanded advanced expertise in .NET, NodeJS, VueJS, SQL scripting, AWS architecture, Python programming, and API development and integration, plus mandatory English proficiency. Most recruitment partners struggled to meet these criteria.
- Urgency and Short Timelines: Pressing deadlines meant Razer Gold required new developers to be onboarded swiftly. Staffing delays could lead to cost wasting and critical disruptions.
Solutions
- Tailored Screening and Selection Process: A rigorous selection process assessed both technical and soft skills, especially English proficiency and communication, to find talent aligned with Razer Gold’s technical needs and internal workflow.
- Process Integration and Workflow Alignment: From the outset, Savvycom studied Razer Gold’s internal development processes and code standards, ensuring every candidate could integrate into existing workflows with minimal disruption, maintaining high code quality and streamlining collaboration.
- Candidate Preparation and Retention: Each candidate was prepared before interviews on the tech stack, project expectations, and working culture for higher interview success rates. Constant engagement kept candidates available and interested despite contract negotiations or delays.
- Agility in Addressing Changing Requirements: As requirements evolved to include Data Engineers and Full-Stack Developers, Savvycom quickly adapted its search focus and criteria.
Results
- Successful Talent Acquisition and Onboarding: Over two years, Savvycom placed six high-caliber professionals within Razer Gold’s development teams, meeting urgent staffing needs. They were onboarded without delays and contributed to ongoing projects immediately.
- Optimization of Internal Resources and Processes: With Savvycom managing urgent staffing and integration, in-house teams could focus on core strategic tasks, creating a more balanced workload and better operational efficiency.
- Enhanced Code Standards and Quality: New hires adhered to internal coding standards, helping maintain and elevate code quality with high-quality output and minimized errors.
- Ongoing Partnership: Razer Gold now regularly entrusts Savvycom with new resource requests for both immediate and long-term staffing needs.
As an IT provider in Vietnam, Savvycom’s recruitment and talent management work also includes partnerships with KG Group from Korea and an Australian Payment Solutions Leader.
