MANDATE: To search for a CTO who could run the technology department of a rapid-growth Fintech whilst focusing on the delivery & development of Operational Resilience and Information/Data security.
SOLUTION: We worked closely with the CEO to determine exactly the type of company they wanted the individual to come from in terms of sector (financial markets/derivatives knowledge was required) and growth trajectory the company had been through. We built a market map of relevant companies, targeting key individuals within, all approached using discreet headhunting methodology. From this, we developed a long list of 10 individuals. Six candidates were seen at the first stage, three seen at the second, and two went through to the final stage, with a successful offer/placement made within five weeks.
QUOTE: “Russell took time to understand the true demands and objectives of the role that enabled him to really home in on target companies and individuals within; the variety and relevance of the longlist within a short time frame was excellent and by the end of the process we were completely comfortable we had seen the best people in the market meaning we were incredibly pleased with the hire we made. I couldn’t recommend Fidarsi’s retained approach enough.”
