Overview:
Working with the internal Talent team and Head of Business Credit Risk for a leading UK Financial Services company on the recruitment of a Senior Manager, Business Credit we:
- Reduced hiring workload, time-to-hire, and overall costs
- Hired into a specialist, business-critical role with a 6.7× more efficient hiring process
- Scoured the market to identify the best available talent that weren’t actively job hunting
Client Challenges:
Initial recruitment strategy was unsuccessful: high CV volume but lacking required skill-set
- A technically challenging role requiring deep knowledge of Business Banking
- Identifying the right talent within the salary band

Our Solution:
- Utilise our network of top-tier talent: the professionals we have access to are a culmination of 30 years of networking and experience – they rarely apply direct to jobs on LinkedIn/Websites
- Shortlist only the most suitable candidates: 9 candidates, with a range of backgrounds, were shortlisted. 8 were invited for Interview (that’s 89%)
- Eliminate bloated recruitment: 85% reduction in CV review and interview
