Recruitment Case Study: Senior Manager – Business Credit

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
