Building a Recruitment Function Ground Up for a Financial Services Leader

The Client:

A leading global provider of insurance and financial services to millions of individual and institutional customers.
T

he Challenge:

Despite its many years in business, this major company did not have a formal recruitment function — and knew that it was losing money, time and quality hires by poorly managing its relationships with outside search firms. It wanted to create a strong internal recruitment function that could address the top 200 positions across the organization.

The Solution:

Whitehouse Advisor was retained to build the in-house team from scratch, developing position descriptions for the new function, interviewing candidates and recommending the right systems and tools to support the company’s executive hires.

The Result:

We hired the company’s first-ever Director of Recruitment and key members of his team and trained them in consistent and effective recruitment techniques.
