​​A Chinese InsurTech giant was looking to launch their online banking business in Hong Kong by setting up a new virtual bank.

After obtaining the virtual banking license from the HKMA, our client had six to nine months to prepare for the launch and was looking to build an operations team from the ground up.

Argyll Scott was engaged to source the market for suitable talent and assist in filling up the local Operations team.

The challenge:

• Seven other virtual banks were also setting up at the same time, making the suitable talent highly sought after
• The vacancy did not have a job description at the time
• There were specific requirements for candidates to have multiple skill sets



Our approach:

• Kept close contact with client and candidates throughout interview process to address possible concerns and keep them updated
• Fostered communication and offered a variety of options to both parties

The outcome:

Offers Accepted: Senior Manager

Timespan: Two weeks
