The Challenge
A senior member of the bank’s Debt Capital Markets desk resigned unexpectedly in the middle of a key transaction, creating immediate delivery risk. The client required a candidate with strong securitisation experience who could start at short notice, ideally avoiding standard three-month notice periods. Speed, technical expertise, and minimal disruption to the project timeline were essential.
The Solution
Leveraging deep sector knowledge and an established network within the DCM and securitisation market, JSS delivered a concise, high-quality shortlist within hours of the initial briefing. The shortlist included both interim options and permanent candidates available on one month’s notice. JSS supported a fast-tracked, two-stage interview process, enabling the client to move decisively.
The Impact
The role was successfully filled within one week, with the appointed candidate able to start within two weeks of accepting the offer. The swift appointment ensured continuity on a critical project and minimised operational risk for the business.
“We called JSS in a predicament as one of our senior DCM specialists had unexpectedly resigned during a critical time for the business. JSS worked quickly and efficiently to fill the gap, placing on top-quality candidate with relevant experience who was readily available to start at short notice.”
