Financial Services | EMEA | Project RPO  

A leading European capital markets organisation partnered with Enterprise Solutions from Michael Page to accelerate hiring in the wake of acquisitions and product launches. Together, we deployed a Project RPO solution that delivered more than 100 hires in 12 months. 

The challenge

A European capital markets organisation had identified a number of critical talent gaps following multiple acquisitions and product launches. To keep pace with its growth ambitions, they knew they needed to hire at scale.  

The timeframe to fill these talent gaps was tight, and many of the roles were complex, demanding hard-to-find skills. This made access to niche talent pools across multiple European markets critical. 

The solution

The organisation turned to Enterprise Solutions from Michael Page. We deployed a Project RPO solution, operating as a seamless extension of the customer's internal Talent Acquisition (TA) team across two short recruitment waves.

To ensure alignment, we established a clear governance structure. We had a dedicated project lead on both sides, supported by weekly calls with country HR leaders. We also built a customised, real-time hiring dashboard, giving stakeholders full visibility of talent pipelines, hiring progress, and risks throughout the project.

The market insights that Enterprise Solutions from Michael Page delivered were essential in helping us hire at speed and scale. With their on‑the‑ground recruiters and strong data foundation, we were able to reach niche talent in new regions that we’d previously struggled to access.

To secure the right hires, we mapped scarce talent pools and leveraged our native-language and on-the-ground recruitment capabilities. Meanwhile, as hiring volumes shifted, we flexed the Project RPO team accordingly, ensuring the right level of support at every stage. 

The outcome

Enterprise Solutions delivered fast, high-quality hires across eight European markets and seven business functions.

Recruitment spanned operations, sales & marketing, technology, product, administration and senior leadership roles in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, and the UK.
