In this exclusive interview, industry veterans Rob Rolle and Chris Wascak delve into the world of Hire-Train-Deploy (HTD). With their combined experience in launching over 3,000 careers at 30+ global enterprises, they've witnessed the full spectrum of the HTD model - its triumphs, challenges, and hidden complexities.
I'm Robert Rowe. I'm one of the co-founders of HTD Talent.
My name is Chris Washchuck. I'm the co-founder of HTD Talent.
We are a hire, train, deploy company.
We hire talent up front, we train them in the latest technologies that companies need,
and then we place them into their first job.
The core mission for HTD Talent is really two things.
We're hoping to diversify the workforce and also close skills gaps.
College really focuses on the theoretical learning of technology.
People are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on technology, computer science, and STEM degrees
to come out and be told that they don't have the experience needed.
What HTD Talent does is focus on building a simulation of the enterprise technology environment
so that when they finish the training and we deploy them out to the client site,
they have the client-specific knowledge and enterprise technology experience to go onsite and hit the ground running.
If you're a Fortune 500 company, the hire, train, deploy model has the potential to be a game changer.
So when you partner with HTD Talent, you have leadership here who have delivered the highest quality talent pipelines.
We've deployed over 3,000 associates at over 30 of the world's largest companies.
Financial services industry, investment banking, insurance, retail.
Any large organization that has a digital footprint or is moving to transform their IT environment
can and will use this model for their technology and digital transformations for the future.
