Case Study: National Bank of Kuwait strengthens HR leadership with Psd Group

National Bank of Kuwait - Customer Case Study

National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) needed to recruit a Head of HR with strong banking experience across the UK and EMEA, covering both strategic and operational responsibilities. With the incumbent’s departure imminent and the bank’s UK business growing steadily, the role had to be filled quickly without disrupting the transition.

Psd Group recommended running two searches in parallel: one for an interim Head of HR to cover the immediate gap and support handover, and one for the permanent appointment. Psd Group quickly delivered the interim hire, mapped the market, benchmarked candidates, and provided a strong shortlist for the permanent role. The process led to two final candidates plus the interim being considered for the permanent post, and the full assignment—from longlist to start date—was completed in just 7 weeks.
