Scaling niche technical teams for the world’s leading OTT & CTV streaming provider

📍 London  ·  ⏱ 24 months  ·  🎯 Engineering & QA  

THE CHALLENGE

Accedo is a global video streaming provider delivering world-class OTT solutions to leading broadcasters. Over an extended period, they faced persistent difficulties sourcing niche technical talent – specifically engineers with Front End experience in React from an OTT/streaming background. These gaps were slowing project delivery across multiple client workstreams and pulling senior stakeholders away from core development priorities.

WHY AMIGOS?

Accedo turned to us because of our deep specialism in the OTT space. Having placed talent across Deltatre, DAZN and other major players in the industry, we bring genuine market knowledge that generalist recruiters simply can’t match – we understand the nuances of the technical profiles, the competitive talent landscape, and what motivates engineers in this space to make a move.

OUR APPROACH

We started with a structured discovery period, working closely with the Accedo team to map their existing team structure, identify the gaps, and build a precise picture of the technical and cultural profiles they needed. This wasn’t just a job spec review; it was a genuine diagnostic of where the bottlenecks were and why previous hiring efforts had stalled.

From there, we activated our network across engineering communities, identifying and qualifying a mid-term pipeline of talent to augment the Accedo teams working across several high-profile client projects.

THE RESULT

Over 24 months we delivered a consistent pipeline of high-quality talent – from Front End Developers to QAs – placed across projects for some of Accedo’s most important clients. Multiple streaming projects were delivered within their original timescales and budgets, removing the delivery risk that had previously been a persistent concern for the business.
