For Broadgate, partnering with mission-oriented, B Corp-accredited organisations is the linchpin in our commitment to driving meaningful impact beyond commercial success.
Recognising a shared vision of a fairer, more sustainable working future for all, Broadgate were delighted to connect with the Centrus team as their dedicated recruitment partners.
Challenge
Centrus were in the market to hire a solution-oriented Head of Compliance with strong experience and credibility (particularly regarding the FCA), with a focus on acquiring regulatory sign-off.
Given Broadgate’s experience and credentials, Centrus had no concerns with the team’s search capabilities. To help improve confidence in the candidate, Broadgate lent on the consultancy services of its senior advisor and C-suite trainer, Adrian McCarthy.
By partnering with Adrian, Broadgate increased the Centrus team’s confidence in both the candidate’s technical capabilities and their overall fit for the company. At the same time, this de-risked the hire by addressing the possibility that the FCA might not sign off on the preferred candidate as SMF16 and SMF17.
Solution
The team at Broadgate collaborated closely with a range of internal stakeholders, including members of the board and the CEO, to ensure that key partners were involved throughout the entirety of the process. Broadgate communicated candidate feedback at each touchpoint transparency and accountability at every stage of the process.
Adrian McCarthy, leveraging his experience as a board effectiveness reviewer, C-Suite trainer, executive coach and mentor, worked laterally with Broadgate’s specialist Risk recruitment division to pinpoint qualified, culturally aligned candidates.
Through our diversity-focused, community-led recruitment methodology, Broadgate minimised risk exposure, identifying and securing the Head of Compliance role inside the agreed time frame.
