After six months of time-consuming interviews Modulr had still not made the right hire, leaving a critical gap unfilled and resulting in increasing internal friction. They faced challenges in finding a candidate who not only held the right technical proficiency and leadership skills but also aligned with the company culture. Additionally, they were interested in seeing talent from outside of industry, requiring a search that reached beyond the usual competitor landscape.

With the urgency of the hire increasing by the day, Modulr appointed Qurated to conduct the search process.

After aligning with the key stakeholders, Qurated defined the core requirements and ideal candidate profile, along with the anticipated challenges in the search. We subsequently mapped the market across the two specified locations of Edinburgh and London. This included thorough mapping of talent within key competitors, as well as identification and targeting of other tech-forward organisations known as having built a strong platform culture.

Once longlisted, our candidate assessment framework enabled us to narrow down to a shortlist of top-tier talent with a perfect blend of technical expertise and functional alignment. The interview and offer process then progressed seamlessly thanks to regular, detailed and transparent communication.

As a result, within just six weeks we successfully closed the search, securing a candidate from the initial shortlist to join Modulr in Edinburgh. Not only did this save further time and resources, but the candidate's performance earned them a promotion within six months - a fantastic indicator of their impact.

• Fast and efficient search process
• Market map spanning multiple industries and geographies
• Our placed candidate was promoted within six months of starting
