Challenge
A Boston-based investment manager needed to recruit external talent to support a digital transformation initiative within the firm. The organization was attempting to migrate its data to Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a part of a transition to its first-ever cloud-first environment. The project would require changes to the firm’s enterprise data management software, including coordination among business units.
At this time during our client’s undertaking, post-pandemic volatility in the market was favorable for candidates. Operational costs for the sourcing processes and compensation packages required to hire internally were high. To accelerate the talent acquisition process, our client sought executive search services through its already-established relationship with Daley And Associates.
Approach
With the hourly rates growing increasingly costly and the offshore support of our client’s hired managed service rendering in-person consulting sessions impossible, our client turned to Daley And Associates to resolve internal operations’ recruitment and efficiency issues.
The Daley And Associates executive search service team was tasked with sourcing two full-time employee hires: a product manager who would own the migration initiative and a senior business analyst. The latter required experience with data management for financial services enterprises.
Our customer also requested five additional on-site consultants to handle the daily software engineering responsibilities. The consultants would work alongside or under the guidance of the two new employees. The consultants would manage integrations with the firm’s existing systems, such as SalesForce CRM, and coordinate day-to-day engineering and customization tasks to meet the needs of the business units that would use the new cloud platform.
Many recruiting firms begin networking and conducting outreach once a job order has been placed, Daley And Associates maintains an active database and networking system of high-performing professionals year-round. This allowed the search team to save time in these initial efforts while remaining diligent in identifying the right fit for the position.
Results
The Daley And Associates team secured two quality employees for our client. The product manager quickly stepped into the role, owning vendor relationships and engaging with on-site staff members daily. The senior business analyst leveraged several years of experience with financial services enterprise data management to become the perfect match.
The Daley And Associates team secured the two full-time hires and five consultants. The full-time hires jumped right in, leveraging several years of experience and proving to be a perfect match for our client. The local consultants were a significant help to the client, as they made an immediate in-person impact right as the firm began having employees return to more consistent in-office work schedules. Three of the five hired consultants are working with our client three years after the initial placements.
Daley And Associates overcame every roadblock our client had faced on its executive search journey. This was largely made possible by Daley And Associates’ comprehensive professional networks in Boston and New York, which provided access to superb talent in the areas local to our client’s operations.
