This enterprise client had the budget to grow—but not the internal capability to build inclusive, high-performing tech teams. They were hiring reactively, suffering from low diversity metrics, and seeing top hires leave within months. Something had to change.
InConsulting Inc. overhauled their sourcing, introduced structured interviews, and delivered a DEI-aligned talent pipeline that included coaching, onboarding support, and internal visibility tracking. They didn’t just hire data scientists—they built a model team that set the new bar for inclusion at scale.
