The challenge
Following a supervisory review, the bank had six months to rebuild its financial crime team — 24 roles including the function head — while under active regulatory scrutiny.
What we did
- Appointed the function head within five weeks through a targeted search of regulated-firm remediation leads.
- Ran the remaining 23 roles as a single project with weekly reporting shared directly with the bank's regulator-facing team.
- Screened every candidate against the specific supervisory findings, not a generic AML brief.
“They understood that every hire had to stand up to a regulator's questions. That framing changed who they put in front of us.”
