Zoetis optimizes data processes, development, and analytics with 30+ hard-to-find, world-class talent.
Challenge: Companies like Zoetis are forced to compete with Big Tech for a limited pool of in-demand talent, including experienced developers, business experts, and data analysts. Zoetis needed an on-demand solution to fill multiple digital, strategy, and analytics roles and avoid costly project delays due to this fierce competition.
Solution: Zoetis’ dedicated client partner at Toptal provided round-the-clock, white-glove support for their talent needs. While traditional hiring for complex roles can take several months or more, Toptal has consistently provided Zoetis with on-demand talent in as little as 48 hours.
Outcome: Zoetis started with just two Toptal developers, but has since expanded their partnership to fill over 30 roles ranging from data scientists to developers, designers, and analysts. For the past two years, Zoetis has been able to initiate complex projects, secure in the knowledge that unexpected role vacancies won’t impact their timelines.
Toptal is my go-to source to find high-quality talent I can’t find elsewhere. I’ve been very impressed with the breadth and depth of talent they’ve been able to deliver.
