Business Challenge

Despite their market-leading product, 3T faced significant bottlenecks:

Talent ScarcityExtreme difficulty sourcing niche domain experts in the local UK market.
Scaling FrictionRapid investment cycles required the ability to ramp up tech teams instantly, and conversely, the flexibility to scale down when priorities shifted.
Management BurnoutSenior leadership was spending too much time on sourcing and interviewing rather than product strategy.
04

Quontex's Approach

Quontex came in and quickly understood 3T's products, technologies, processes and needs. The right specialists were vetted and presented to 3T, the quality and speed of candidates meant that 3T managers could minimize the amount of time spent on interviews.

Quontex helped with onboarding selected candidates, assisted remote specialists onboarding and integration into the companies process and culture, took full ownership of cross boarded payroll/taxation and ensure the talent is retained.

Quontex was also able to help ramp down specialists in a matter of weeks when 3T's business priorities changed.

05

The Result

Since 2021 Quontex have helped 3T attract the best talent to the most difficult roles, the top engineers have stayed loyal to 3T over the years, and the team has continually grown.

This has helped 3T to grow as a business and led to the company's successful acquisition by Aptean Inc.

Post-Acquisition Continuity

Following the acquisition, Quontex continues to serve the team now under the Aptean umbrella, ensuring a seamless transition and zero loss of institutional knowledge.
