The client
Close Brothers is a UK merchant banking group providing financial services to individuals and businesses. This assignment focused on a Senior Insight Executive for its Retail Insight team.
The challenge
ENI partnered with the Head of Insight and Talent Acquisition Business Partner to understand the team and role. A previous search and candidate networking had already brought an agency-side researcher with relevant sector experience to the consultant’s attention.
The work
The candidate was more junior than the client initially wanted. Their enthusiasm led the consultant to recommend a conversation, and Close Brothers agreed to meet them. ENI kept both parties informed through interviews and managed a counteroffer.
The outcome
The process resulted in a successful hire into the Retail Insight team.
