Client

MARCOL

London, United Kingdom

Project Summary

Devico serves as an outstaffing/staff-augmentation partner to a private equity investor, supplying developers, architects, and other technical professionals to meet cyclical demand across portfolio companies (primarily healthcare). Their resources are provided quickly (often immediately or within 2–4 weeks) and integrate into the client's processes and tools. The client values the high standard of candidates, the company's responsiveness, and the long-term relationship.

Key Challenges

Manage cyclical peaks and troughs in demand across multiple businesses
Rapidly scale teams without adding full-time staff

Project Deliverables

Dedicated development staff (developers, architects, technical professionals)
Rapid resource provisioning (staff delivered immediately or within 2–4 weeks)

Project Solution

Devico acted as an outstaffing partner, supplying senior developers, architects, and other technical professionals who join the client's teams as proxy members. The vendor sourced candidates to match specific skill and soft-skill requirements, allowed the client to interview proposed teammates, and delivered resources rapidly (typically immediately or within 2–4 weeks). The supplied teammates used the client's tools and processes (Jira, Confluence, Miro) and embedded into ongoing projects across multiple businesses.

Project Outcome

Developers met required standards and were retained (no teammates cycled off)
Fast staffing reduced time-to-hire and enabled the client to focus on running the business
Established long-term relationship and significant investment with Devico ($1–$5 million)

Quality of Deliverables

“The client has never cycled out teammates from Devico, which speaks to their prowess. Devico's team is large enough to provide all the resources the client needs while still paying particular attention to their needs. The client appreciates Devico's no-nonsense approach to their partnership.”
