Digital transformation doesn’t slow down when hiring gets hard.
At ProcureCon IT Sourcing 2025, procurement leaders will be addressing a familiar but intensifying challenge: how to build and scale high-performing technology teams faster, smarter, and without increasing operational risk. Budgets are under scrutiny. Hiring cycles are too long. Talent pipelines are unreliable. And yet the roadmap isn’t getting any shorter.
That’s where we step in.
At Forte Group, we work with mid-market and enterprise procurement leaders to solve this delivery gap through Scaled Talent Solutions, a model designed to reduce time-to-value, increase flexibility, and ensure delivery accountability across the technology lifecycle.
Why Procurement Feels the Talent Pain First
When technology velocity drops, it’s usually not because of tech decisions, but because the right people aren’t in place at the right time.
Hiring freezes. Sourcing misfires. Internal teams stretched thin. And all the while, expectations from the business keep rising. The reality is this: the cost of a single missed sprint or delayed release can easily outweigh the savings from traditional vendor negotiation.
Procurement is now expected to accelerate delivery, not just manage unit cost. That requires a shift in how talent is sourced, measured, and deployed.
The New Standard: Scaled Engineering with Precision
Our approach is built around three principles:
- Speed without tradeoffs
We deliver pre-vetted technology talent in 24–72, screened by SMEs, aligned to your stack and time zone, and ready to contribute on day one. Whether it’s GenerativeAI engineers, Cybersecurity analysts, backend or data engineers, DevOps specialists, Automation / Manual QA leads, or Salesforce experts, every resource is selected for fit and readiness. - Flexible delivery aligned to procurement goals
From contract to contract-to-hire to direct placement, our model gives you options. Need to build a nearshore team under a fixed budget? We’ll align to your cost model and delivery cadence. Want a high-performing specialist without bloating FTE headcount? We make it frictionless. - Delivery-focused integration
Our people integrate into your organization —not around it. That means we match your sprint velocity, architecture decisions, and communication patterns. You maintain control. We bring throughput and accountability.
What We’ll Be Discussing at ProcureCon
The conversations in Boston will go deeper than cost-per-resource. Forward-looking procurement leaders are focusing on:
- Reducing time-to-value for technical hires
- Enabling modernization and AI programs without expanding FTEs
- Avoiding resume mismatches and delivery shortfalls
- Building sustainable, scalable hybrid technology teams
- Aligning sourcing strategy with product velocity targets
These are complex challenges, but the answers aren’t theoretical. They’re operational. And they’re solvable when procurement, technology, and delivery partners align on outcomes.
Final Thoughts
Procurement has become the quiet enabler of digital progress—or the invisible bottleneck. The difference lies in how you scale talent.
If you're responsible for sourcing technology resource capacity that actually delivers, let's talk. Not about staffing—but about precision-built solutions that move the roadmap forward.
I’ll be at ProcureCon IT Sourcing 2025 in Boston this June. Let’s have a real conversation about how to get ahead of the next hiring delay before it slows down the next release.
