Sparta Global & LSEG
LSEG partners with Sparta Global to address critical skills gaps and build a more inclusive technology workforce.
“The process of onboarding the Spartans was incredibly smooth. The upfront training meant that once onboarding was complete, they were able to add valuable contributions to the project immediately. The monthly catch-ups with the Sparta Global Engagement Advisor ensured both teams were on the same page and supporting the Spartans in their roles.”
LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group) is a global financial markets infrastructure and data provider, serving customers in over 190 markets worldwide. With a history spanning more than 300 years and a business built on cutting-edge innovation across cloud, AI/ML, and data analytics, LSEG needed a partner who could deliver immediately available technology talent whilst addressing two critical challenges: retention and diversity. Operating at the heart of global financial markets, LSEG required locally trained, high-calibre talent to safeguard critical intellectual property and maintain its competitive edge. Like many financial services organisations, LSEG also faced underrepresentation in its technology teams, and was committed to building a more inclusive workforce by prioritising opportunities for women and ethnic minorities. Before partnering with Sparta Global, LSEG had relied on a supplier that lacked the scale to sustain its growth, leaving teams competing for resources, facing high attrition, and struggling to build loyalty compared with on-site, local talent.
A Trusted Partner for Sustainable Workforce Growth:
As a strategic partner of LSEG, Sparta Global was swiftly onboarded at a point of urgent need, deploying diverse early careers talent across several high-demand business areas – all proving their value and delivering impact from day one. Building on this early success, the partnership has continued to grow, with Spartans performing strongly across multiple teams and a number on track to convert into permanent employees. By providing locally trained, diverse talent supported through a structured engagement model, Sparta Global reduced LSEG’s reliance on offshore vendors and helped lower attrition, establishing a foundation for sustainable workforce growth. The quality and professionalism of the Spartans has opened the door to further collaboration across additional departments, with LSEG now exploring a larger strategic partnership – including the potential creation of a DevOps Centre of Excellence.
