What services does Revolent offer?
In today’s rapidly evolving tech landscape, the hunt for cloud-savvy talent can feel like searching for a needle in a digital haystack. While tech giants like AWS, Microsoft, and Salesforce have unleashed transformative cloud solutions, the challenge of finding, training, and retaining skilled cloud professionals intensifies. This is where Revolent emerged as a market solution, having since become the world’s trusted cloud talent creation specialist.
Let’s take a look at some of the core services that we offer, whether your business is based in APAC, EMEA, UK, or North America. You can also find out what customers who have already worked with us make of our model, on these client case studies.
The Hire, Train, Deploy model
Our “Hire, Train, Deploy” model can give your organization a competitive edge in the dynamic world of cloud technology. It’s cost-effective and streamlined, significantly reducing the time-to-market and allowing you to stay ahead of your competition.
Hire
We source and select experienced tech professionals tailored to your specific requirements. This step ensures that you have access to individuals with the right skills and expertise from the outset.
Train
After being selected, the professionals recruited by us (known as ‘Revols’) embark on an intensive and highly customized training journey during which they obtain the necessary certifications, all in just 8-12 weeks.
Crucially, their training isn’t confined solely to technical aspects. It’s designed to align seamlessly with your business objectives and project demands, ensuring that you receive a workforce that is intricately tailored to your business needs.
Deploy
Once they complete their initial training, we deploy these skilled cloud professionals to work within your organization, for a period of up to two years. Thanks to the robust processes in place to seamlessly integrate these Revols into your team, they’re able to immediately contribute to projects and initiatives assigned to them.
And their professional development doesn’t end there. We continue to invest in the Revols’ journey with regular check-ins and advanced cloud certification training, customized to your project needs.
The ReSkill model
Our ReSkill program empowers your organization to cultivate advanced, specialized cloud capabilities in-house. This program can be entirely customized to align with your ongoing projects and unique requirements, ensuring minimal disruption to business continuity.
Combining instructor-led sessions, hands-on exercises, and interactive discussions with real-world case studies and practical scenarios, the program ensures that your ReSkillers are ready to hit the ground running in a matter of weeks.
To give you a better idea of our cloud training in practice, here are some quotes from recent ReSkillers:
What makes Revolent different to other cloud talent and training providers?
Customers often ask what makes our offering different to other cloud talent creation programs on the market. It’s the deeply rooted commitment to applying our mission to every step of the customer’s journey.
Is the training off-the-shelf or can it be customized?
In the ever-evolving world of cloud technology, a standardized approach simply won’t suffice. We recognize that you, as a customer, will bring a distinct set of challenges, objectives, and organizational nuances to the table. This is why we strive to provide you with the best-trained professionals on flexible contract terms by carefully sourcing seasoned tech experts, then investing in their growth through rigorous training, tailored to your specific needs. Our dedication ensures that these professionals seamlessly integrate into your team.
How does Revolent empower career growth?
Revolent’s mission is driven by our desire to not only help customers build exceptional teams but also to play a pivotal role in shaping the careers of aspiring cloud technologists, bringing fresh perspectives on board from underrepresented backgrounds (for example, check out our recent work with the Indigenous Tech Academy).
We believe that when employees have the opportunity to transform their aspirations into reality, their increased passion, dedication, and innovative thinking naturally lead to enhanced performance and productivity.
That’s why we’re so committed to transforming these skilled professionals into invaluable assets within your organization, offering ongoing professional development training even as they progress through their work placement at your organization. As the Revols thrive and grow, you, in turn, can benefit from a contracting team that is not only more engaged but also better equipped to meet evolving challenges, ultimately contributing to the overall success and sustainability of your company.
How does Revolent engage with its clients to customize its offering effectively?
It all begins with a deep exploration of your vision, as a customer. By engaging closely with you from the onset, we’re able to gain an in-depth understanding of your specific requirements and expectations. Instead of settling for a general understanding, we create an Ideal Revol Profile. This profile serves as a detailed blueprint for our Talent Acquisition team, outlining the hard skills, expertise, and personal attributes needed for success within your organization’s unique environment.
And customization doesn’t just end with profiling. We take it a step further by offering flexible contracting terms that seamlessly adapt to your project dynamics. This adaptability empowers you to scale your workforce up or down as required, ensuring you always have the right cloud talent, exactly when you need it.
To complete the customization journey, we maintain a laser focus on your core business objectives, ensuring that every aspect of training and talent development aligns seamlessly with your business needs. We don’t just offer cloud experts; we nurture and develop professionals to become an integral part of your workforce, contributing to the achievement of your strategic objectives.
How does Revolent build trust with its customers?
We place tremendous emphasis on nurturing a deep and robust collaboration with you, as our customer, throughout our partnership journey. This is achieved through a well-balanced blend of formal and informal communication channels, including Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs), as well as consistent engagement with our Talent Acquisition, Sales, and Customer Success teams. We believe that this approach best ensures transparency, ongoing support, and a deep understanding of your evolving needs, building a strong foundation for an enduring partnership.
How does Revolent ensure timely delivery and quality?
We know that, in the dynamic world of cloud technology, timely delivery and unwavering quality are non-negotiable. We have stringent processes in place to ensure this, such as clear timelines being established upfront. Furthermore, the responsibility for finding suitable candidates rests solely with our expert Talent Acquisition team before training commences. Our commitment to quality means that only certified and highly qualified professionals are deployed to work in your team. What’s more, our Revols remain in a contract with us for a minimum of two years, which enables us to offer a continuity of service to you.
What ongoing professional development opportunities does Revolent offer?
Providing pastoral care, continuous feedback, and development opportunities to anyone undergoing training with us is a crucial aspect of our approach—unsurprisingly, it’s also what makes our offering so different to other cloud training providers on the market.
Our support extends well beyond the completion of the initial training. Our Revols become part of a global community with access to ongoing technical support, career development coaching, and a wealth of learning opportunities.
Our ReSkill program also includes valuable assistance in completing accreditation and the establishment of future learning pathways for your existing employees.
What professionals does Revolent employ to support the customer journey?
Our team boasts an array of diverse experiences. From Talent Acquisition experts with deep knowledge of the tech industry, to highly qualified cloud trainers, we ensure that every facet of our service is delivered by individuals with unmatched expertise. For instance, we have the largest number of in-house Salesforce-certified instructors compared to any other cloud training specialist.
How does Revolent measure success?
Our success is inextricably linked to the success of our Revols within our customers’ organizations. Due to our inherent interest in their long-term professional development, ongoing success forms the cornerstone for forging enduring partnerships that transcend the boundaries of individual projects. It signifies a shared commitment where both we and our customers are invested not only in the immediate project outcomes but also in the sustainable growth and prosperity of our collaborative journey and the Revols we employ.
We also measure our success by the transition of our professionals from being our employees to seamlessly integrating as fully-fledged, indispensable members of your team. Although our Revols remain our employees throughout their on-site placement, upon completing the program, you can convert them into permanent resources without incurring any conversion fees. In fact, on average more than 80% of our Revols convert as permanent resources to our clients’ teams, enabling you to build a sustainable and cost-effective cloud talent pipeline.
