The Challenge
The Head of Talent and People role had been vacant for approximately six months, despite the client interviewing numerous candidates. The key challenges included:
- The size and complexity of the organization
- Scarcity of professionals in the market with strong expertise in workforce planning and organizational development
- Need for a candidate capable of managing large teams while aligning talent strategy with operational effectiveness
Our Approach
MyWorld adopted a strategic, comparative approach to present the client with well-rounded options:
- Introduced candidates from the same banking sector with strong workforce planning expertise but limited experience managing large teams
- Sourced candidates from diverse or more challenging industries who had proven leadership experience in managing large teams, along with skills in organizational development, workforce planning, and employee retention
- Provided guidance on evaluating industry familiarity versus leadership capability to identify the best long-term fit
This approach enabled the client to make an informed decision and select a candidate with both the leadership and strategic expertise needed for the role.
