Building a Center of Excellence with Dual-Market Expertise

Key takeaways

• A financial firm wanted to build a new tech hub but lacked local market expertise
• Developed a data-backed hiring strategy with dual-market expertise from Glocomms and Selby Jennings, resulting in 150+ successful placements
• The firm strengthened its position in the market, improved talent attraction and retention, and is now set for long-term growth

The challenge

Building new corporate hubs requires a deliberate and methodical approach to guarantee successful commercial outcomes. We collaborate with companies, delivering insights on competitor analysis, local talent trends and market research, alongside working with senior stakeholders to build a long-lasting hiring strategy. 

We partnered with a leading financial firm in the USA to establish a new center of excellence in technology with a focus on fostering growth and innovation, offering a full-service, multi-hire talent solution across software engineering and financial services.

The solution

With the backing of Glocomms and our financial sciences & services partner brand, Selby Jennings, both part of the Phaidon International group, our client set up their new global tech hub where we developed a talent strategy based on local data to attract top professionals in each industry.

As part of the process, we conducted in-depth market research and competitor analysis to identify hiring trends and talent availability. Then, working together with the firm’s senior team, we designed and implemented a tailored recruitment strategy that aligned with their business objectives. 

The result

Through our extensive network and combined industry expertise, we identified and attracted experienced technology and finance professionals, ensuring that the firm had the right talent in place to drive their agenda forward. 

Our efforts resulted in over 150 hires, which facilitated the rapid establishment of their technology hub. The center is now thriving and its success strengthened the firm’s employer brand, so the company no longer struggles with talent attraction and retention.

Summary

Any business expansion requires careful planning and an expert understanding of market trends, talent availability, and business needs. With dual-market talent acquisition support from Glocomms and Selby Jennings, our client successfully navigated a competitive hiring landscape to secure the people they needed to drive innovation and long-term growth.
