IQE

IQE, an epitaxial wafer manufacturer, wanted to enhance global inventory tracking to improve stock management and distribution efficiency.
Time frame to build team:
5 weeks
Involvement timeframe:
18 months
Max team size:
9

Challenge

IQE was mid-way through a 2-year transformation programme and needed to transition from outsourcing to in-house to regain control of project outcomes. While IQE had a talented leadership team, it lacked the scale required to immediately support the breadth of software change required.

It needed to:

  • bring in talent specialising in technologies including C#, ASP.NET, Blazor, and GraphQL
  • rapidly assemble a team of 7 engineers across these specialisations, adhering to its country trade restrictions
  • recruit change management specialists to embed the software delivery across the organisation

Launch Lab's solution

Assessment development

Launch Lab’s in-house VP-Engineering and CTOs crafted client-approved screening and assessment criteria.

Talent pipeline assessment

Launch Lab assessed hundreds of members of it’s talent network, appraising CVs and carrying out GitHub reviews, conducting technical screenings and carrying out live pair programming coding challenges.

Talent shortlisting and onboarding

IQE were presented with assessed candidates and ran final interviews with a 95% success rate against the shortlisted candidates.

Requirements scaling

Change Managers were similarly assessed and onboarded to manage the successful deployment of the change across the business, with the overall team flexing throughout as requirements evolved.
