At Chamberlain, we pride ourselves on our deep expertise in the lending industry. Whether it’s product development or restructuring and recoveries, we understand every aspect of the lending lifecycle. Our recent success with a leading SME challenger bank exemplifies our ability to place the right talent in the right roles.
Placing High-Calibre Talent Across Multiple Disciplines
This challenger bank was amid significant changes, including the arrival of a new senior leader tasked with revitalising its largest division. Three years earlier, we had built a strong relationship with this individual by placing him in a previous role. Recognising our professionalism and industry insight, he approached us to help fill critical positions essential to his strategic plan.
Leveraging our comprehensive knowledge of the lending sector, we successfully placed a UK Head of Portfolio Management, a UK Head of Product and Proposition, and a Senior Credit Manager – all key roles aligned with the bank’s strategic objectives.
In addition, through our longstanding connections and preferred supplier status, we secured mandates to place top talent within the bank’s restructuring and recoveries division. This included successfully placing candidates at both the manager and director levels, further demonstrating our ability to deliver exceptional professionals across various specialisms in the lending sector.
The Power of Exclusivity in Recruitment
One key factor in our success was their decision to work exclusively with us. When multiple agencies compete for the same roles, the focus often shifts to speed rather than finding the best fit, which can lead to quick but less effective placements. By trusting us as their sole recruitment partner, they allowed us the time and space to thoroughly headhunt and vet candidates, ensuring the best possible match for their needs. Our deep industry knowledge and commitment to quality over speed resulted in securing talent that fit the roles and brought substantial value to the bank.
Our ongoing partnership with them continues to highlight our ability to consistently deliver top-tier talent across the lending lifecycle, reinforcing our reputation as a trusted partner in the lending sector.
