Disclaimer: I'm a Principal Consultant with Readify.
I'm not familiar with this particular project, however I'd like to clarify a bit based on our engagement focus. Organisations like SEEK engage us to help improve development team process, with tooling on the side to support it.
While the case study talks about them engaging us to help with source control, it doesn't talk about an inability to get something like Git, Hg or SVN working. Instead, it talks to them getting some external advise about effecting an organisational change in their development teams. We also likely brought experience/scripts to help migrate their history from whichever ageing system they were in.
TL;DR: The SEEK devs wouldn't need us to come and help them just install an SCM and leave.

haha - knowing some of the Readify guys to be very skilled your judgment might not be 100% founded, but i have definitely experienced the "pockets" of which you speak.
This popped up in my twitter feed not too long ago: http://readify.net/our-experience/seek
Apparently a team of 35 developers couldn't get Git working.. or mercurial.. or even SVN! And had to outsource source control to another company (I'm probably being unfair, the Devs may or may not have had a say in the matter).
