For HR leaders in fast-moving industries, the challenge is no longer just finding talent, it’s finding job-ready talent, fast. Traditional hiring pipelines are buckling under pressure as skill requirements evolve faster than recruitment cycles. For technology roles in particular, entry-level developers who can hit the ground running are rare, costly and hard to retain.

This is where Managed Training Services (MTS) changes the game. By combining structured learning, compliance management and role-specific training, MTS offers a sustainable way to build a future-ready workforce without spiraling hiring costs.

If you’ve been looking for ways to future-proof your talent pipeline while reducing costs, this case study is worth your time.

The Challenge

The client, a global bank with over 150 years of legacy and more than 15,000 employees in India, was facing a severe talent bottleneck in its technology division. A shortage of entry-level software developers was delaying high-impact projects, driving up recruitment costs and leaving critical tech initiatives at risk.

Traditional hiring models weren’t delivering candidates with the right skills for the bank’s complex and evolving development work. HR leaders needed more than a quick fix, they required a scalable, compliant and future-ready talent supply solution.

The Managed Training Services Approach

Instead of continuing with reactive hiring, the bank adopted Managed Training Services to proactively build a robust, role-specific talent pipeline. This shift helped reduce dependence on unpredictable external hiring and increased workforce agility.

Here’s how our MTS model worked for them:

Targeted Apprenticeship Program: A structured apprenticeship program designed exclusively for entry-level software development roles.

Custom Curriculum: A syllabus covering Python, Java and leading cloud platforms, co-created with the bank’s tech teams to ensure alignment with real project needs.

Blended Learning Delivery: A combination of online learning, live coding assignments and continuous mentorship for accelerated skills transfer.

Full Compliance Management: Handling all statutory requirements, including apprenticeship contracts, government reporting and regulatory adherence, freeing HR from administrative headaches.
