An insurance company
Human Resources Business Partner, insurance
Your Needs
Our client is an insurance company which has the ambition to strengthen their core business while responding to the changing needs of society by providing innovative solutions that extend beyond traditional insurance.
The company was looking to recruit an HR Business Partner to join the team of the Chief Human Resources Officer. The HR Business Partner is the point of contact for all managers and employees of a business unit.
The HR Business Partner provides advice to the business and has a strategic responsibility in the field of HR policy to help achieve the business objectives.
Our Solutions
As Human Resources is a transferable knowledge across industries, the search universe was vast. To narrow it down, we decided to concentrate on people who were working on similar industries: services. We also looked at people who were currently working or had worked in service companies.
As language skills and geography were other important components of the search, it again narrowed down a search universe in which we were able to identify a successful candidate with growth potential and strong strategic insights.
We successfully closed the search.
Result
The search concluded with the appointment of a candidate with growth potential and strong strategic HR insight.
What this case demonstrates: a broad functional market becomes useful only when the search criteria reflect the organisation's real context. Sector adjacency, language and geography were not administrative filters; they shaped the likelihood of success.
