A Tier 1 multinational corporate bank found themselves in need of a replacement Deputy Head of Risk. As a role critical to the bank’s fiscal health, it was essential that Robert Half sourced a candidate vigilantly. With the role in high demand, a strong candidate would be hard to find in the local market.

Having worked closely with the client for several years, Robert Half was familiar with the corporate culture. Upon confirming their ideal profile, Robert Half leveraged its extensive recruitment channels and was able to source an excellent candidate.

Our candidate fulfilled the required skillset, which included extensive international experience, strong English language skills, and well-rounded risk management experience in market, credit, and operations.

After declining the job offer, Robert Half continued to stay in contact with the candidate, and in time, discovered he regretted his decision and was still interested in pursuing opportunities in corporate banking.

Robert Half communicated this to the client, and they immediately created a new position for the candidate.

Having settled into the role, the new Deputy Head of Risk has brought about many improvements to the client’s corporate culture.

With extensive knowledge of mainland China, where the client’s headquarters are based, the new Deputy Head of Risk has been able to build strong connections between their branch and mainland operations.

Having come from a Tier 1 bank, the candidate also brought extensive all-round risk management knowledge.

The candidate often represents the bank at seminars and works with local regulators, raising the client’s profile and reputation.

Due to a company expansion, the client was seeking a Fund Controller. As a client-facing role within the private equity sector, the candidate would play a critical role within the business, responsible for the preparation of financial statements and valuations for investors, presenting and interpreting the numbers for their clients to equip them with the information they need to make informed decisions.

In addition to filling the vacant role quickly, the role required CPA qualifications and excellent Excel skills, as well as knowledge of the programming language Python.

A good relationship with the client and a history of placing successful candidates meant Robert Half was able to leverage its knowledge of the client’s corporate culture and pitch strong candidates with 12+ years of experience in the Big 4 and Buy side.

As a result, a successful Fund Controller was hired in less than a month from presentation of the candidate to job offer.

Thanks to a short recruitment period, Robert Half saved the client both time and resources.

The new Fund Controller has demonstrated a strong ability to support the finance function and help the business expand steadily as a result.

They have been able to build strong relationships with existing clients and have also brought new clients on board.

Having recently opened a branch within the Greater Bay Area, the client was looking to appoint a Treasurer to oversee the fiscal health of their organisation. The company indicated they preferred Robert Half to target senior management candidates with broad financial experience.

Due to the nature of the role, investment skills were highly desired by the client.

Having conducted a thorough and in-depth market intel update with the client, Robert Half was able to identify a concrete profile of the desired candidate, and promptly reached out to its database of pre-vetted talent.

A candidate was quickly identified as being a good match for the job profile. However, upon the candidate’s consideration of the job offer, they were presented with a counteroffer from their existing employer, which they accepted.

Upon learning the candidate had chosen to accept their counteroffer, Robert Half conducted an extensive recruitment campaign, utilising its existing networks. The team were able to headhunt a passive candidate and upon reaching out to them personally, turned them into an active candidate.

Robert Half spent extra time preparing them for the possibility of a counteroffer from their current employer, while continuing to research a talent pipeline should the candidate choose to decline. As a result, the candidate accepted the job offer.

The new Treasurer successfully developed an investment portfolio and traded on the financial exchange to generate steady cash flow, ensuring the company's efficient and smooth operation with minimal risk to its capital.
