Case Study: Emerge Drives Top Talent Hiring for Fortune 500 Bank

Assignment

A Fortune 500 banking company set out to hire 100 Field Sales Representatives to expand their team. They initially retained 75 positions internally and entrusted Emerge Talent with sourcing and filling the remaining 25 roles.

Challenges

The recruitment presented significant challenges due to the unique job requirements. Candidates needed a rare combination of banking and sales experience, with the flexibility to work both over the phone and in the field. This blend made the talent pool narrow and highly competitive.

Solution

Emerge Talent tackled these challenges by leveraging a team-sourcing approach that combined deep industry knowledge and rigorous screening. The process included:

• Sourcing candidates with relevant banking and sales backgrounds.

• Validating candidate qualifications and fit through consultations with industry experts.

• Conducting comprehensive interviews to ensure alignment with the company’s high standards.

Outcome

The results of this targeted strategy were outstanding:

• 96% retention rate at 6 months: 24 out of 25 Emerge hires remained with the banking company, showcasing the quality and fit of the candidates.

• Retention comparison: Fewer than 5 of the 75 hires made directly by the company stayed on at 6 months, highlighting the effectiveness of Emerge’s recruitment process.
