Stott and May s Software Development and Architecture practice are renowned for helping hiring managers proactively secure the talent they need to take the next step whether it is in digital transformation, ecommerce development, high performance real time low latency platforms or product development. We ensure that our clients can keep up with the pace of digital business by enabling them to access a rich network of niche and often difficult to acquire skill sets in highly aggressive time frames. Our experienced consultants provide deep market knowledge covering skill sets across the entire software development lifecycle including: design and architecture, implementation, hands on development and testing. We take a mature approach to recruitment. Our client relationships often go further than the reactive resourcing of technical staff to encompass advice around the cost implications of new platforms from RFI/RFP stage through to delivery. 1. You need resource to meet delivery dates that have financial consequences. 2. You are hiring for a niche skillset relating to a new application or framework. 3. You need a complete turnkey resourcing solution to meet the demands of large transformational projects. 4. You need to plug essential skills gaps in your team with contract resource. 5.

TRANSPARENT, EXPERT GUIDANCE WHEN TIMESCALES ARE TIGHT 3 DESIGN 2 ANALYSIS THE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT CYCLE 1 PLANNING 5 MAINTENANCE We have been trusted to partner on big transformational, time sensitive projects for some of the worlds biggest brands. Our consultative approach and market knowledge allow us to deliver proactive recruitment in reactive situations, where speed of turnaround is business critical. The success of the Software Development and Architecture practice has been founded on our ability to deliver what we say. When we work with clients we typically define a start date and work backwards to develop a tailored process based on their preferences. As part of the discussion we will add value by helping to shape the requirement further - passing on advice around skillsets, salaries and day rates. We understand that in time critical situations clients want to see quality rather than quantity, which is why we typically qualify our shortlist down to the best three candidates for each role.
