Following a publicly known cyber security incident, Jaguar Land Rover tasked DXC Technology with rapidly identifying a team of ten cyber and privacy specialists. DXC did not have sufficient bench capacity. MooodyCow stepped in, delivered seven screened candidates within 24 hours, and helped DXC secure a new Cyber Security Operations Team at JLR.

“"MooodyCow's ability to present credible candidates at very short notice meant we could stay in the conversation with JLR and convert a time-critical opportunity into a deliverable piece of business."”
Martin Davis , UK and Ireland Sales Lead, DXC Technology
Jaguar Land Rover approached DXC Technology to provide resource augmentation for ten specialist positions spanning five roles: Senior Security Architect, Senior Security Engineer, Technical Privacy Architect, Legal and Regulatory Privacy Advisor, and Security Risk Manager. Two resources were required per role, with a strong preference for UK-based candidates given the sensitivity of the work.
Engagement began on 15 October. The work was quickly folded into a closed RFP process running to a 14 November deadline, open only to existing JLR partners including DXC, the incumbent TCS, and Accenture. A Best and Final Offer was submitted by 20 November.
DXC faced several constraints it could not address alone within the timelines set by JLR:
Rapid candidate mobilisation. MooodyCow deployed its Flexible Workforce model so DXC could present a cyber security solution under its own delivery leadership. Within 24 hours, seven fully screened candidates were submitted, covering multiple roles and maintaining DXC's momentum in discussions. Across the full pipeline, MooodyCow achieved a 94% acceptance rate from DXC, with 16 of 17 candidates approved for client presentation.
End-to-end sourcing and screening. MooodyCow owned sourcing, screening and preparation for every candidate, matching skills to the revised cyber operations scope when the RFP changed mid-process.
Integrated collaboration with DXC. The MooodyCow Senior Account Manager, Director and Talent Team worked directly with DXC's Security Sellers and UK and Ireland Sales Lead, ensuring frequent communication and rapid adjustment of commercials and candidate preparation throughout.
Speed under changing requirements. When four roles were swapped mid-RFP, MooodyCow restarted the search inside the unchanged deadline, sharpening the commercial position and coaching candidates to stay competitive against TCS and Accenture.
Outcome: DXC secured four of the ten roles, forming a Cyber Security Operations Team of three Cyber Incident Response Engineers and one Cyber Threat Intelligence Specialist. The initial nine-month engagement creates recurring revenue for DXC and an expanded footprint within JLR's cyber security operations. Internally, DXC stakeholders recognised that without MooodyCow's rapid mobilisation the opportunity would likely have lapsed at the outset.
