Specialist Lender and Bank - Group Head of Credit Risk
As a trusted partner, InterQuest were asked to support the hiring of a Group Head of Credit Risk. Our specialist lending client had specific requirements relating to senior stakeholder management, technical knowledge, and role location. InterQuest effectively understood the client's requirements before conducting a comprehensive search to deliver the successful candidate.
High-Growth Fintech - Head of Data Science
Our fast-growing fintech client was looking to supplement their data science and decision capabilities with a senior hire. The business had exact requirements relating to technical knowledge, hands-on modelling capabilities, and solutions/team leadership experience. Having previously engaged another firm, unsuccessfully, InterQuest partnered with the client to deliver a candidate shortlist resulting in a successful hire.
Global Investment Bank - Head of Market Risk Management
As a trusted partner to our global investment banking client, InterQuest were requested to support with the hire of a Head of Market Risk Management. This was a high-profile hire which required an extensive search to identify the right candidate. Additionally, due to the seniority of the role, InterQuest were required to support the candidate through numerous stages of interviews to ensure a successful outcome.
Global Debt Purchaser - Decision Science Team Build
Having previously been retained to hire a Director of Decision Science, InterQuest were exclusively engaged to build the decision science team in the UK. The roles required a high level of technical modelling and data science competency, strong coding skills and candidates who were able to be flexible and adaptable. InterQuest were successful in hiring four analysts/senior analysts to grow the team.
