Case Study: a FTSE 100 financial services business achieves 16 new hires and improved gender diversity with Michael Page

FTSE 100 Financial Services Business secures 16 hires and a 60/40 gender split with Michael Page

The customer, a FTSE 100 financial services business, faced the challenge of recruiting for an ambitious IT transformation programme. They needed to build a new internal IT division by insourcing operations from an outsourced environment, but were constrained by a highly limited candidate pool, high market demand for specialists, and a need to improve diversity in senior roles. They partnered with the vendor, Michael Page Technology, to address these recruitment needs.

Michael Page implemented a dedicated recruitment solution, creating a team that acted as an extension of the client's in-house function. They managed the first-round interview process to save time, ran targeted online and social media campaigns, and handled the end-to-end recruitment process. As a result, Michael Page secured 16 hires for the programme, with the remainder filled internally. They also exceeded the client's diversity target by achieving a 60/40 male-to-female split among placed candidates.
