Foreign Capital Asset Management Company - Regulatory Analyst
With a limited supply of regulatory analysts in the private sector, Optia Partners took a different approach and found a qualified specialist in a governmental department.
Our client was looking to strengthen their legal services department due to the growing requirements of their business and needed to add a key person to support their legal and compliance team.
After carefully discussing the required skill set for the position with our client, we realized that the successful candidate would need a level of legal knowledge that would enable them to conduct business, licensing and other regulatory matters within Japan, while working closely with the U.S. headquarters. The client is a specialized company within the financial services sector and there were very few people who would have direct work experience with their type of business. Thus, we decided not to limit our search to the obvious places.
We began with an initial screen of a large pool of potential candidates from our existing network and found that only a few had the required skill set. At this point we started to look outside of the industry and broadened the scope of potential candidates to include other types of industries and organizations. We began the process of screening and evaluating such candidates. After meeting with several qualified people from inside and outside of the industry, we were able to find the right person for our client. We screened a total of 30 candidates and introduced 1. The candidate had a great deal of experience working in support of a legal department and had been working in a government department for their entire career.
In less than a month following our introduction, our client secured the candidate for employment. The client was extremely happy to find not only a person with the right set of skills, but also a person who could adapt to a specialized role so comfortably. The candidate was quite excited by the challenge of moving into the private sector and with a substantial increase in salary.
