Robust Diversity Recruitment Effort Leads to Global Investment Firm Success

Client’s Challenge

A leading global investment firm remained dedicated to engaging underrepresented Analysts in the world of finance but faced a significant capacity challenge to launch and recruit for their rotational analyst program. The firm required a partner capable of handling hundreds of applicants from top schools nationwide and driving a high-engagement candidate experience holding to the company's quality standards.

Talent Growth Solution

Talent Growth Partners ran the rotational recruitment program as an extension of the client's team, implementing a custom approach that included:

  • Handling 288 applicants, ensuring every interaction was meaningful and a positive candidate experience.

  • Refining the interview process to uphold the highest quality standards and honing critical competencies.

  • Focusing on reaching a significantly diverse candidate pool, reflecting the client's commitment to diversity.

  • Providing ongoing support and collaboration, perfectly aligning with the internal team’s strategies.

  • Managing the client’s ATS system.

Outcome

Talent Growth Partners yielded remarkable outcomes:

  • Program Management: Year over year effective program management as the sole partner to this initiative.

  • Efficient & Effective Interviewing: On average, 288 candidates managed annually over 2-3 months, maintaining high-quality interaction with candidates.

  • Diverse and High-Caliber Talent Pool: A variety of diverse, top-tier candidates were presented, adding new perspectives to the company’s culture.

  • Strategic Alignment: Over three years, 10 rotational analysts were successfully hired, creating a valuable talent pipeline.

One year, we had over 900 applicants. We can’t get through that internally. Having Talent Growth handle the front-end interviews is HUGELY valuable. They enable us to reach a diverse candidate pool AND find quality talent.
