Newly Created Talent Management Role

Our client, a boutique consulting firm, had an immediate need for a Director of Talent.

Challenge

This was a newly created role with a lot of internal visibility and candidates had to get the “buy-in” from all members of a very diverse senior leadership team. We needed to find someone with professional services experience and expertise in talent management who was also an exact culture fit. The level of the role was not yet determined so we had to find candidates who could navigate a fluid search process and an ever-changing landscape.

Solution

We presented a slate of qualified candidates across a broad range of experience. After interviewing several candidates, we helped our client identify “the one” – someone who was less experienced than they were initially thinking, but who was the perfect culture fit and who received a unanimous “yes” from the leadership team.

The Results

The Director of Talent has now been with our client for three years, and has played a key role in helping the company achieve its talent goals.
