DeWinter Accelerates iOS Modernization Plan for Bay Area Tech Company

The Challenge

• Our longtime client, an industry-leading social media platform, needed to accelerate their iOS modernization effort to move from Objective C to Swift.
• They had over 40 modules that need to be migrated to Swift on a timeline of 6-9 months for completion.
• This team was not able to take on this scope of work with existing resources and needed DeWinter Group to fully staff a team of 12 within two weeks.

The Solution

• Our team coordinated with the Chief of Staff to the Engineering Organization and Mobile Engineering Director to develop a custom solution for their project’s needs.
• Our team’s plan would meet the key requirement to find consultants who had experience with large code bases that had done large-scale iOS migrations from Objective C to Swift on an expedited timeline.
• We leveraged our Recruiting Blueprint which included streamlined screening techniques to ensure quality resources, including:
• Technical coding assessments
• Customized screening document to detail specific past projects and technical expertise
• Reference, background, and ID verifications
• Our team was able to onboard a highly-qualified team from scratch in two weeks for a time-sensitive and high-priority client project.
