Kander, a boutique firm, identified an opportunity to scale sustainably amid rising demand. By partnering with Third Republic’s TalentConnect, they accessed top-tier Salesforce talent and expanded their global capabilities. This collaboration enabled Kander to consistently deliver exceptional value to their customers, effectively managing fluctuating project demands while maintaining the highest standards of service.
Kander recently expanded its work with a major client while also securing its largest client to date. However, the new engagement wasn’t initially guaranteed for the long term, and they urgently needed experienced Salesforce architects and engineers. Faced with the challenge of quickly finding and vetting top-tier talent for complex implementations, Kander sought a solution that went beyond traditional recruitment.
That solution was Third Republic’s TalentConnect program. Kander didn’t just need a staffing agency; they needed a strategic partner capable of helping them scale without increasing workforce overhead. TalentConnect provided access to a global talent network—fully vetted, experienced professionals ready to jump into complex projects. By leveraging this extensive talent pool at fixed, industry-leading rates, and offering discounted conversion paths to full-time roles, Third Republic empowered Kander to manage projects flexibly and efficiently.
For Kander, this partnership meant they could confidently take on new, complex engagements without the risk of overextending their resources. It gave them the agility to pursue larger opportunities while maintaining cost predictability, allowing them to focus on growth without compromising on quality or speed.
For Third Republic, TalentConnect wasn’t just a recruitment solution; it was a strategic response to the real challenges Salesforce SI partners face today. The model helped partners like Kander navigate margin pressures, talent gaps, and fluctuating demand by providing a global talent network that could meet their needs swiftly and effectively.
This win-win partnership has become a template for how Salesforce consultancies can tackle modern challenges. Together, Kander and Third Republic have shortened project timelines, improved client satisfaction, and unlocked the potential for more complex engagements—all while keeping overhead low. Their partnership is proof that with the right strategy, consultancies can thrive, even in a fast-evolving marketplace.
