We’re Konvergent. We help you define who you really need, hand pick three or four vetted architects, and protect your investment after onboarding, with our Enterprise Architecture Recruitment method: Engaged Search.
You’ve probably already tried internal talent teams and your multi agency contingency preferred supplier list. You may have been presented with 50 CVs in two weeks or one CV in six weeks.
And sure, you may have even seen a few people that look okay, but deep down, you know whilst they may have had the correct job title on their CV, they were not what you want to hire, and you can’t keep burning weeks screening them. You need something more reliable.
We get it. I have spent the last 20 years inside Enterprise Architecture recruitment and consulting, watching Chief Architects having to hire the wrong person as the right person was never presented to begin with.
That’s exactly why we built the Engaged Search Method. It’s a simple way to get the right architect in place fast, helping you fill the role in days (interim) and weeks (permanent) while keeping your programme moving, while also protecting your investment long after onboarding.
We also can’t stand generalist SI’s who send consultants who need hand holding. They add to your work load, not reduce it.
We help senior IT leaders to get a shortlist of three or four vetted, role right architects in as little as 48 to 72 hours without wading through irrelevant CVs using our Engaged Search Method
Whether you need an Enterprise Architect, an ERP Architect, an AI Architect or an Architecture Analyst, this is how we guarantee you the right one.
Ben takes the brief himself and challenges it, so who you really need is defined by what needs delivering, not the job title.
“I barely have time to write a JD, let alone brief a recruiter properly.”
That’s the point. Ben understands the need from the bare minimum, so you don’t have to spell it all out.
The engaged search method ensures only those who can deliver what is needed are spoken to.
“I am fed up having to read countless CVs and interview people who were never right to begin with.”
You get weekly updates on three or four pre vetted, role right people from the whole market, each with a clear one page profile and risk score. Each time, every time.
Regular contact throughout, managing potential counteroffers, etc., and providing governance oversight for associates.
“Most recruiters disappear the moment they’re paid.”
This is the managed layer that gives you far more than a shortlist, and it’s why clients come back again and again.
Ben’s network runs deep enough that there is always someone we can turn to within 48 hours to plug your gap.
“I ask my SI partners for an architect and, if I am lucky, I might get someone in four to six weeks.”
Whatever you need across the architecture spectrum, you can rest assured Konvergent will have an associate who fits, and who is ready to start.
Konvergent was founded by Ben Clark in 2015 who saw how the wrong processes, and lack understanding of the nuances architecture, meant wrong hires and countless wasted hours for time poor Chief Architects.
We do one thing: put role-right architects in front of senior IT and architecture leaders, fast. Every shortlist is built by Ben personally, three or four people, each interviewed by him, each matched to who you really need rather than a keyword.
