Cork: PepsiCo’s global beverage concentrate headquarters
PepsiCo chose Berkley Group for contract IT hiring across its global R&D and digital engineering hub in Cork, where more than 1,250 people develop and commercialise products for world markets. Over a 13-year partnership, Berkley has delivered more than 100 contract and permanent placements without compromising quality or compliance.
The challenge: scale, without compromising quality or compliance
Enterprise transformation programmes demand talent at speed, across contingent and permanent hiring, and often at scale for large initiatives. PepsiCo needed a partner who could ramp delivery quickly without diluting quality, retention or compliance, and who understood the culture well enough to hire proactively rather than reactively.
A consultative workforce partnership across every function
Since 2011, Berkley Group has partnered with PepsiCo across its Cork operations for both contract and permanent hiring, becoming a trusted partner to hiring managers across multiple functions.
Leadership & programme delivery: IT Directors, Programme and Project Managers.
Infrastructure & cyber security: specialists securing mission-critical enterprise and global data environments.
Enterprise systems & supply chain: SAP professionals and Supply Chain Project and Programme Managers.
Digital engineering & data: Design Architects, Software Developers, Data Analysts and Automation Engineers.
Agile delivery: Scrum Masters and Business Analysts.
Why Berkley for contract IT hiring
Contract IT hiring for a global enterprise has to balance speed, quality and compliance at once. Programmes ramp quickly, roles are niche, and a single delayed placement can hold up a wider initiative. Berkley maintains a live network of vetted contractors and permanent specialists, so we can scale a team fast and still protect the standard. For PepsiCo that has meant specialist placements across leadership, infrastructure and cyber security, SAP and supply chain, digital engineering and data, and agile delivery.
