Our clients choose us for our tailored, data-led strategy to scout the best talent from around the world.
Project Example: Global Returnee Search, Leveraged Finance
A lack of emerging senior talent was creating two key challenges for our client – limited leverage, leading to a heavily utilised team that risks damaging the positive culture, and issues with succession planning for the future.
One challenge for Australian law firms is encouraging talented lawyers to return from lucrative and busy markets abroad. We collaborated with the Partners and Resourcing team of our client to identify and clearly define the career and client opportunities that could potentially attract the right talent to the team.
Given that the domestic market had been extensively targeted, we decided to look beyond it to multiple overseas markets and mapped every visible potential returnee at leading firms. Over six months, we promoted the opportunity to those interested and achieved a successful outcome, while also gathering valuable market intelligence to inform future strategic hiring decisions.
The motivations of the successful individual included a desire for a clear, progressive career path and a dynamic culture which aligned well. Timing expectations were also managed to allow for personal choices to be considered.
