The roadmap was moving. The team had to move with it.

Critical TechWorks builds digital solutions for the automotive industry in a highly complex engineering environment, spanning microservices, cloud-scale platforms and multiple technical disciplines. Scaling that work required more than filling isolated vacancies: engineering capacity had to keep arriving as the roadmap evolved.

Engineering capacity across the stack.

Scaling once is recruitment. Scaling repeatedly is a delivery model.

Critical TechWorks didn't need to fill one isolated hiring gap. As engineering roadmaps evolved, new skills and additional capacity had to keep arriving — across different teams, technologies and stages of delivery.

Speed when demand increased

24 professionals joined in just six months.

When the need for engineering capacity accelerated, the hiring operation had to accelerate with it —
adding specialised talent while keeping teams moving against their roadmap.

Breadth across the engineering stack

From Data and Java to Android, C++, DevOps and UX/UI.

Scaling wasn't about repeatedly filling the same role. KWAN sourced and integrated profiles across Backend, Frontend, Data, Mobile, DevOps, Product and Design, supporting different areas of CTW.

Capacity that compounds

66 specialised professionals integrated across two years.

Rather than a one-off hiring spike, the partnership created a repeatable way to reinforce teams as requirements evolved — supporting momentum across large-scale engineering projects and cloud-oriented development.

The capacity behind the roadmap.

THE KWAN PART

Step 1

Source

Talent across multiple engineering domains. From Data and Java to Android, C++, Backend, Frontend, DevOps, Product and UX/UI, sourcing adapted to the skills each team needed.

Broad Talent
Step 2

Validate

The right expertise for the right engineering context. Specialised profiles were assessed by KWAN against the technical and contextual requirements of each need before joining CTW's teams.

Right Fit
Step 3

Integrate

Embed talent into teams and delivery. Once selected, professionals were integrated into CTW's engineering organisation to reinforce teams working across large-scale and cloud-oriented projects.

Team Ready
Step 4

Keep Scaling

KWAN added capacity as CTW's delivery needs evolved. The partnership created a repeatable way to reinforce teams over time - including 24 consultants in just 6 months.
