Internal hiring was slow, costly, and inefficient, causing delays in securing critical technical talent.
Existing team members were stretched thin, leading to burnout and reduced productivity.
The organization was unable to scale the team quickly to meet urgent project requirements.
Delayed project delivery timelines were affecting stakeholder confidence and slowing business growth.
