The company

STC Specialized is a subsidiary of STC Group, providing mission-critical communication solutions and cybersecurity services across Saudi Arabia.

Challenge & Objective

While the company had aggressive hiring plans for new business lines, the internal team lacked bandwidth to support urgent mandates across engineering, product, project management, and shared services.

To embed talent delivery support that could manage urgent and complex technical roles while reducing the time-to-hire and relieving internal pressure.

"IB became a true partner to our business and people teams. Their embedded support model was a breath of fresh air during a time of rapid growth."
