Overview

Global Capital Partners, one of the world's leading investment banks, faced mounting pressure to modernize their talent acquisition while maintaining strict regulatory compliance. With over 5,000 hires annually across 40 countries, their legacy systems couldn't keep pace with the competition for top financial talent.

The Challenges

Regulatory Complexity

Managing FINRA, SEC, and international regulatory requirements across multiple jurisdictions with manual processes led to compliance gaps and audit findings.

Talent Competition

Losing top candidates to faster-moving competitors due to a 45-day average time-to-hire and fragmented candidate experience.

Campus Recruiting Scale

Processing 50,000+ applications annually for 500 analyst positions with inconsistent evaluation criteria and poor candidate communication.

Global Coordination

Siloed recruiting teams across regions with no unified view of talent pipeline or standardized processes.

Implemented Nexus's financial services compliance module with real-time FINRA BrokerCheck integration and automated background screening workflows.
