Scaling Volume and Leadership Hiring for US BFSI firm’s Strategic Expansion Across India
The Background
Anlage has maintained a long-standing partnership with this prominent US Banking major since 2010, providing talent services that span both volume hiring and specialist leadership hiring. Over the course of this 14-year relationship, Anlage has placed over 1,500 IT professionals, contributing to the client’s expansion in multiple locations across India.
The Challenge
The client required a recruitment partner capable of handling both large-scale volume hiring and highly specialized leadership roles, including niche positions that were critical to their operations. Additionally, the client was expanding into new geographies, such as Pune, which required strategic hiring support to build their teams quickly and efficiently.
The Solution
Hiring Events
Anlage organized back-to-back hiring events at both the client's premises and Anlage's offices. This approach helped streamline the recruitment process for volume hiring while maintaining a steady flow of qualified candidates.
Tailored RPO Program
A tailored Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) program was designed to meet the client's unique volume hiring demands. The program was optimized for scalability, ensuring that large numbers of hires could be made efficiently.
Specialist and Leadership Hiring
In addition to volume hiring, Anlage successfully handled specialist and leadership roles. Some of the niche roles filled included positions such as VP-Quant Dev, Enterprise Architects, Director-AI/ML, and GCED Leader. These roles were challenging to fill due to their technical complexity and specific skill requirements.
The Implementation
Organized Hiring Events
By conducting hiring events at both the client's and Anlage’s premises, Anlage was able to ensure a steady inflow of qualified candidates, especially for high-volume hiring needs.
Strategic Approach to Leadership Hiring
Anlage’s experienced recruitment team took a strategic approach to filling high-profile leadership positions, focusing on sourcing, assessing, and onboarding the best candidates for critical roles that were hard to fill.
Efficient Sourcing for Niche Roles
For highly specialized roles like VP-Quant Dev and Director-AI/ML, Anlage leveraged its extensive network and domain expertise to identify suitable candidates, significantly reducing the time-to-hire for these key positions.
The Results
Leadership Role Success
Anlage closed several critical leadership roles, including a challenging CIO/Diversity position that had been relocated from the US to India. This position, which had been open for over 7 months, was filled within 2 months of Anlage’s involvement, from sourcing to onboarding. This important hire was also featured in The Economic Times.
Volume Hiring
Beyond leadership roles, Anlage helped the client expand into new locations across India, successfully onboarding over 1,500 IT professionals during the 14-year partnership.
Conclusion
Anlage’s ability to manage both volume hiring and specialist leadership roles across various locations in India has been a key factor in the client’s successful expansion. By designing a tailored RPO program and utilizing a strategic approach for niche roles, Anlage consistently delivered high-quality talent, cementing a long-term relationship built on trust and results.
