Munich Re Case Study

Challenge

Munich Re required a green field engineering team for a new department to be procured from scratch within a short timeframe. They wanted a reliable partner who could look after the entire end-to-end recruitment process, to create an agile team of 10 ‘self-starters’ to get the ball rolling.

These hires included the following titles in order to establish a comprehensive and highly skilled group who could successfully take ownership of their tasks in this new department: 

• 2 Product Specialists 
• 1 Product Manager and Product Owner 
• 8 Engineers -
• 1 Developer Manager, 1 Technical Lead, 2 Back-End Engineers, 1 Automation Engineer, 1 Infrastructure Engineers and 2 Front-End Engineers. 
  

Solution

We pride ourselves on not just hiring the most qualified for the job, but we ensure to engrain ourselves into your culture, taking time to determine the type of people who will be best suited to your work environment. 

• To find these hires, we engaged with suitable individuals, some of whom were already known to us within our talent pool. With a high level of technical requirements for each job, we implemented the following process to ensure a thorough screening of each candidate. 
• With a high level of technical requirements for each job, we conducted technical interviews with each candidate, assessed by an independent expert, in parallel with a personality assessment through our platform thinkHRX. Before any candidate was submitted for review by MunichRe, we ensured cultural alignment and aptitude benchmarking, saving considerable time and money for the overall recruitment process. 

Outcome:

• Munich Re were delighted with our finalised candidates, and so satisfied with our procurement process that we have been their recruitment agency of choice to place a further 12+ people on a non-exclusive agreement.
