Case Study: Scaling a FinTech's Talent Acquisition Team
Client
A high-growth FinTech startup based in Shoreditch.
Challenge
Needed to hire 50 software engineers in 3 months but had no internal recruitment function. Lacked time and expertise to build one from scratch.
Solution
Staffing Service provided a complete recruitment outsourcing solution: two on-site Recruitment Consultants and a remote Resourcer, managed by one of our team leaders.
Result
Within 10 weeks, the team had filled 48 of the 50 roles, with a time-to-hire 40% faster than the industry average for tech roles. The client avoided the capital outlay of building a full internal team and converted the arrangement into a permanent RPO contract.
