Success Stories
Global Insurance Firm: Relocation Success
A global insurance firm needed to consolidate two offices in the Midwest into one at their Mid-Atlantic location. Most of its employees decided to stay in the Midwest due to family concerns. The company found itself, unexpectedly, needing to staff the majority of its East Coast office with qualified talent quickly. Select Group came in and was the only firm to ensure qualified targeted expertise with speed. The hiring managers were pleased with the results.
Conservative Consumer Bank: Succeeds on Time
You don’t expect that a conservative consumer bank would need to create an entire risk management department out of the blue. Yet, that is exactly what happened when one such bank with a pristine balance sheet needed to comply with new banking regulations. They were under a tight schedule to literally build an entire risk management division from scratch. They turned to Select Group to get their staffing needs met. From quantitative analysts, to executive risk managers, Select Group secured them top talent on time. The board recently complimented the Head of Human Resources for a job well done.
Deep Six the Big Four
It’s important to bring in big consultative talent to kick off a demanding initiative, but those rates can be costly after the project has “settled in.” Recently, a global investment bank turned to Select Group for support. Results included supplementing their Big Four team with seasoned Business Analysts and Project Managers at two-thirds of the previous billing rate. They gained talent with much deeper business knowledge, more senior comportment and greater flexibility on their start and end dates.
