Their Challenge

This leading global insurance provider was undertaking a significant workforce transformation locally, requiring a reduction in contractor headcount while strengthening their permanent capability. The entity needed to hire five permanent Senior Business Analysts (BAs) to support a diverse portfolio of initiatives, ranging from digital transformation programs to core insurance projects.


The client required a recruitment partner capable of managing the entire process while identifying professionals with the right blend of technical expertise, industry knowledge and cultural alignment.

Our Strategy.

  • Drawing on our long-standing relationship as a Tier 1 supplier to this client for over 20 years, Paxus was engaged to deliver the recruitment project exclusively.
  • Working closely with key stakeholders, we established an efficient and collaborative recruitment process, enabling rapid decision-making and streamlined interviews. We sourced candidates through multiple talent channels, carefully assessing both technical capability and behavioural fit to ensure successful long-term placements.

Partnership

This project demonstrated Paxus's efficiency in delivering high-quality talent under tight timelines.


Within two weeks, we interviewed and screened 12 candidates, submitted 10 shortlisted candidates, managed the recruitment process end-to-end for all appointments and successfully placed all five Senior Business Analysts. This enabled the client to transition critical capability from contract to permanent employment while maintaining delivery across key business initiatives.


By combining permanent and contingent recruitment expertise, Paxus delivered a flexible workforce solution that enabled the client to achieve its hiring objectives, support ongoing transformation initiatives and build long-term organisational capability.

Ongoing Impact

Paxus continued to support the client's evolving workforce needs by providing specialist permanent and contract talent across digital marketing, infrastructure and enterprise technology teams.

The partnership extended to supporting broader transformation programs, including:


  • Placing two Digital Producers within four weeks to support the client's digital marketing transformation
  • Supplying specialist contract Virtualisation Engineers for a major data centre program
  • Recruiting permanent Linux Engineers, Citrix Administrators and Systems Engineers to strengthen operational capability
