Finding and retaining skilled professionals is an ongoing challenge in tech. But with the Recruit Train Deploy model, we offer a smarter, future-focused solution by identifying promising talent, equipping them with tailored technical training, and seamlessly integrating them into your teams.
This approach not only bridges digital skills gaps but also delivers job-ready professionals who align with your business goals from day one.

What is Recruit Train Deploy (RTD)?

Recruit Train Deploy (sometimes known as ‘Hire Train Deploy’) is a service that offers a streamlined talent-acquisition and workforce-development solution. This approach not only bridges the digital skills gap but also delivers project-ready professionals who align with your business goals from day one.

At Corecom Tech Academy, our Recruit Train Deploy (RTD) service is built bespoke with our clients, involving tailored inclusive recruitment campaigns to source top talent, who we hire as Associate Consultants; followed by receiving full-time intensive training that has been designed to fit your business skills requirements, this can be across Quality Engineering, Test Automation, Business Analysis, Platform/DevOps (and many other key technical specialist areas). After training completion, our Associate Consultants are deployed to clients and integrated into your team.

Key stages of this service include:

  • Recruit: Working with clients to identify and hire candidates who meet your requirements; they join Corecom Tech Academy as Associate Consultants and are specifically hired to join your teams..
  • Train: Providing bespoke, full-time training that aligns with your technology stack, processes and business needs.
  • Deploy: Once training is complete, our trained Associate Consultants are deployed into your projects or teams, and their progress is monitored with opportunities for further training or transfer into your permanent team.
  • Progress & Transfer: Our service includes ongoing monitoring of employee performance, pastoral care, further learning, development and optional industry certifications, with a transfer option for your business to hire Associate Consultants permanently during this stage.

Traditional Recruitment vs Recruit Train Deploy

When comparing RTD with traditional recruitment approaches, several differences stand out – particularly across tech and larger UK businesses.

While traditional recruitment has its benefits, it’s also important to remember the hidden overheads:

A typical traditional recruitment process for businesses includes defining a role and advertisement, screening, processing CVs, and hiring which can slow down HR processes. And it doesn’t stop there. This is also followed by interviews, lengthy onboarding processes and an average of 3-6 months of additional training for employees to meet company standards.

Recruit Train Deploy does things differently. We identify top talent with potential, rather than relying solely on long histories of experience (known as ‘skills-based hiring’), with training being built in as part of the service.

We train Associate Consultants according to the client’s needs so they arrive in your teams project-ready. Our approach significantly reduces time-to-productivity because the Associate Consultants have already been trained. This means greater flexibility, scalability, and cost-efficiency for your business!

Benefits of RTD for Large Businesses
