Supporting Capgemini’s Technology Hiring Across Europe

Capgemini is a global consulting and technology services business supporting organizations with digital transformation, enterprise systems and managed services.

Delivering these programs requires people with specialist platform knowledge, technical experience and an understanding of complex client environments. Requirements range from SAP consultants and software developers to cloud specialists, architects and technology leads.

Montreal Associates began working with Capgemini in France in 2011. The relationship expanded over time to support teams in Germany, Belgium, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland.

What started with contract hiring developed into a broader partnership covering permanent appointments, payroll assignments and retained search.

Capgemini needed access to hard-to-find technology professionals to support large-scale client programmes across Europe. Each requirement brought a different combination of technical expertise, regional market knowledge and engagement needs.

In France, demand initially centred on SAP, ERP, business intelligence and application development. As the partnership expanded, requirements broadened into cloud, data, infrastructure and software engineering, alongside senior specialists, architects and technology leads.

Maintaining continuity within delivery teams was also a priority. New appointments needed to sit alongside contractor extensions that retained experienced professionals and their knowledge of ongoing programmes.

MA’s support therefore needed to accommodate different countries, technologies and hiring models while adapting to Capgemini’s changing project requirements.

The relationship developed beyond its initial scope, giving Capgemini access to specialist talent and different engagement options through one established partner.

• Support across European markets, combining an established relationship with knowledge of regional hiring requirements.
• Specialist expertise across programs, spanning enterprise platforms, cloud, infrastructure, data, and software development.
• Continuity within delivery teams, with contractor extensions helping retain experience and program knowledge.
• Flexibility across workforce needs, bringing together contract appointments, permanent hires, payroll support and retained search.
• An adaptable long-term partnership that expanded as Capgemini’s technology requirements and geographical coverage evolved.

We built our support around each team's expertise and engagement model. Our early delivery focused on SAP, ERP, business intelligence, and application development in France, before expanding into a wider range of technologies and European markets.

Expertise Matched to Each Market

In France, we sourced professionals across infrastructure, cloud, software development, Oracle, SAP and ServiceNow. Requirements also extended to data, Java, and .NET, including senior specialists, architects, and technology leads.

In Germany, we supported teams with Salesforce professionals and SAP contractors. Belgian requirements covered SAP specialists and senior IT sales professionals, while our delivery in Italy focused on Microsoft Dynamics AX and Dynamics 365 consultants.

We also extended our hiring support into Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland.

Continuity Alongside New Appointments

As our relationship developed, contractor retention became an increasing priority. We supported extensions alongside new engagements, helping Capgemini maintain access to professionals already familiar with its programs.

Our contract delivery covered SAP, infrastructure, cloud and software engineering, including 268 contractors placed in France.

Different Engagement Options

We expanded our support to include permanent technology appointments, delivering across Germany, Belgium, and Italy, spanning Salesforce, SAP, and Microsoft technologies.

Our payroll assignments provided another engagement option, while we completed retained search projects in Germany and Ireland. Together, these services allowed us to accommodate different regional and workforce needs.
