Uncovering Talent Gaps
Inconsistent Engineering Contractor Quality
Financial institutions rely on engineering contractors to deliver products at scale, but misaligned talent quality and limited visibility into IT Service Provider performance often cause delays, rework, and business risk.

Nearly half of contractors fall below the tier-1 bank bar
Our data, from over 500,000 technical interviews, shows that in-seat contractors from ITSPs often underperform relative to market averages. Without consistent technical standards, enterprises end up placing contractor engineers who don’t meet their quality bar, increasing risk and making it harder to compete with more innovative competitors.

Turn Blind Spots into Benchmarks
Taking a one-size-fits-all approach to contractors results in misalignment and underperformance. But it’s not all doom and gloom. Many IT Service Providers display strengths within certain roles and use cases.
Karat’s Talent Insights help you take a data-driven approach to your partnerships. By benchmarking your talent quality against your ITSPs, we help optimize your sourcing strategy and focus on top partners.
