Building an India GCC is one thing. Finding the right talent to make it work is another.
When a global organisation decided to establish its India operations, building the right talent base was an important part of the plan.
The requirement? 13 AI Finance Analysts.
This wasn't a routine volume-hiring assignment. It required an understanding of both finance and emerging AI talent.
The Challenge
A global organisation was setting up its India Global Capability Centre (GCC) and needed to build its team from the ground up.
The immediate requirement was to hire 13 AI Finance Analysts.
The challenge was not simply finding candidates who understood finance or had exposure to AI.
The hiring process required a clear understanding of the GCC setup, role-specific technical requirements and the kind of professionals needed to support a new India operation.
Finding relevant talent for an emerging role like AI Finance Analyst made the assignment particularly important.
The Approach
We approached the requirement with a focus on understanding the client's business and talent needs.
Our recruitment efforts centred around:
- GCC requirements: Understanding the talent needs of a global organisation establishing its India operations.
- AI and Finance talent: Identifying professionals relevant to the evolving intersection of finance and AI.
- Technical requirements: Understanding the skills and knowledge required for the AI Finance Analyst positions.
- Role fitment: Identifying candidates aligned with the client's requirements and expectations.
Rather than treating this as a conventional volume-hiring exercise, we focused on finding relevant talent to support the organisation's initial team-building plans.
The Result
We successfully closed all 13 AI Finance Analyst positions, supporting the global organisation in building its initial talent base for the India GCC.
This marked an important step in establishing its finance and AI talent capabilities in India.
The Bigger Takeaway
Setting up a GCC is a business decision. Building the right team is what brings that decision to life.
GCC recruitment requires more than sourcing profiles. It requires an understanding of the business, evolving talent requirements and the capabilities an organisation needs from day one.
13 AI Finance Analyst roles closed. One India GCC taking shape.
Because the right talent is what turns a new operation into a functioning business.
