Home – Single – blog

The Challenge
A top UK bank chose People360 to launch its greenfield Data & Analytics COE in India. The ambitious mandate: recruit 250 high-calibre data engineers, data scientists, managers, and analytical architects within a tight one-year window, ensuring strict adherence to global banking compliance and technical benchmarks without slowing down concurrent operational milestones.

Our Solution
People360 designed and executed a multi-layered talent acquisition strategy, establishing dedicated technical vetting panels and pipeline trackers. We collaborated directly with regional engineering institutions and local tech partners to source top-tier analytic minds. Our onsite operations team managed stakeholder interviews dynamically, reducing time-to-hire by over 40% while verifying data compliance credentials meticulously before onboarding.

The Outcome
The greenfield Center of Excellence was built entirely on time and within the projected budgeting framework, successfully onboarding all 250 data professionals. The fully optimized COE gave the UK bank an immediate, advanced analytics engine in the region, directly driving their global machine learning initiatives and reinforcing People360 as an elite strategic expansion partner for financial institutions.
