Case Study: a leading high street retail bank in Ireland reduces hiring time and costs with Morgan McKinley Total Talent Solutions

Leading High Street Retail Bank in Ireland cuts hiring time to 5 days with Morgan McKinley

Morgan McKinley provided Total Talent Solutions to a leading high street retail bank in Ireland. The bank faced a critical challenge: it needed to hire over 500 new employees within four months to serve a surge of over 100,000 new customers, but its internal talent acquisition function was disjointed and under-resourced, causing slow hiring and risking reputational damage.

The solution involved Morgan McKinley taking full ownership of recruitment, optimizing processes and integrating closely with the bank's team. This partnership led to the hiring of 1,000 permanent and temporary staff, reduced time-to-hire from six weeks to just five days, and saved approximately €1 million annually in recruiting costs. The success resulted in a four-year ongoing contract for Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) and Managed Service Provision (MSP) with Morgan McKinley.
