Example Engagement

Client Type:
Financial services firm
Objective:
Develop a recruitment strategy to attract top talent and fill key leadership roles

A financial services organisation experiencing challenges in attracting and retaining high-calibre talent engaged CATO to strengthen its recruitment approach. The organisation required improved employer positioning and a more targeted talent acquisition strategy.

CATO supported the engagement through a comprehensive review of existing recruitment practices, identifying gaps in employer branding, candidate sourcing, and screening processes. A new recruitment strategy was developed, focusing on clearer employer messaging, targeted talent acquisition, and enhanced candidate assessment. Guidance was also provided on onboarding and retention practices to support long-term success.

The engagement resulted in the successful recruitment of high-quality candidates into key leadership roles, strengthening organisational capability and positioning the firm as a desirable employer within the financial services sector.
