Challenges faced by Bahwan CyberTek
1. The limited talent pool for Coupa Solution Architect
Bahwan CyberTek wanted to hire one candidate for the Coupa Solution Architect position. They were pretty specific with their requirement for a candidate with more than ten years of experience, which made the hiring difficult as the talent pool decreased significantly.
2. People with a telecom background
The BCT team was looking for candidates with a telecom background. Restricting the search to candidates with a telecom background significantly narrows the available talent pool.
3. No point of contact
Bahwan CyberTek's hiring team was yet to tap into the Philippines market. They didn't have much knowledge about it, which was a significant roadblock in hiring people from the Philippines.
