Operations: Capital Markets: Specialist derivatives Operations campaign

A major European investment bank expanding rapidly within derivatives, approached a number of recruitment companies to find a solution to their surging demand for experienced derivatives operations candidates. Along with a number of our competitors, we tendered for the campaign. After a face-to-face meeting with the key stakeholders for the project, we were chosen due to our multi stream approach and ability to source at all levels.

The methodology we suggested combined advertised selection, in both print and online media and market mapping exercises. This culminated in two open evenings with multiple candidates attending. The evenings were organised at the Client's offices with presentations from senior members of the global Operations team. Several line managers were present to interview the candidates on a competency and team fit basis. After each evening, the preferred candidates were invited back for a final interview with the team and HR.

Subsequent to this campaign, 16 new hires were made.
