IT Manager – Private Bank

Our client is a European bank who opened an office for the first time in Luxembourg in 2013.

Assignment

A European bank was opening its first office in Luxembourg and called on Lancelot’s expertise to find an IT Manager.

With an existing IT team based at their head office, our client was looking for a specific profile capable of handling the demands of local IT as well as having sufficient banking knowledge to adapt systems and technical solutions to the existing infrastructure.

The deadline was tight as the new recruit needed to be in place when the bank opened.

Solution

Direct Search

Our knowledge of the local financial sector and the people who work there allowed us to target candidates with the required profile. Many were working in banks of a similar size and organisation. As such, our first interviews were organised within 10 days, with candidates talking to the client the following week.

Result

Using direct search and our knowledge of the challenges facing the banking industry, Lancelot was able to target those candidates open to considering new opportunities.
