Case Study: Standish Management achieves 60+ hires in 7 months with Talentful

How Talentful made 60 hires in 7 months for Standish Management

Standish Management, an employee-owned provider of specialized fund administration services for private equity funds, needed to scale hiring quickly but had no internal talent function and relied heavily on external agencies. This led to slow time-to-hire, inconsistent candidate experience, and difficulty competing for top talent against the big four accounting firms. Talentful stepped in to help centralize and improve their recruiting efforts.

Talentful provided a dedicated client lead for 12 months, focusing on process improvement, interview training, candidate experience, and a more formal headhunting approach. Over a seven-month project, Talentful helped Standish Management make 60+ hires, save $618,102 versus the agency model, and expand recruiting from four to nine locations, with plans to extend the partnership further.
