Client Challenge

Investec has a large, highly experienced internal Talent Acquisition team that successfully fills the vast majority of its vacancies. However, with recruiters focused on managing a high volume of live vacancies, they simply don’t have the capacity to dedicate weeks to mapping the market, identifying passive candidates and headhunting for highly specialised leadership and technical roles.

For these niche appointments, they needed additional recruitment capacity that could identify and engage passive talent—while allowing their internal Talent Acquisition team to remain focused on managing day-to-day hiring activity.

Ntice Approach

Ntice works as an extension of Investec’s Talent Acquisition team, undertaking the research, market mapping, headhunting and candidate engagement needed to identify and attract hard-to-find talent. Once a qualified shortlist has been delivered, the internal TA team takes ownership of the interview and hiring process.

Result

Through our fixed-cost search model, Investec has successfully filled multiple niche and business-critical appointments while allowing its internal Talent Acquisition team to remain focused on core recruitment activities.

The result is access to passive talent, faster progress on difficult-to-fill roles and predictable recruitment costs. Over the course of our partnership, Investec has saved millions of rands in retained search fees while retaining full ownership of its recruitment process.
