Simcorp & 3X Partners

PARTNER UP TO RAMP UP HIRING 



"The biggest frustration with hiring people was that we got a lot of resumes and the qualification wasn't done properly so we had to do a lot of interviews before hiring somebody."

The challenge



Building a Technology CoE in Manila required hiring 50–100 employees under demanding conditions:


  1. A compressed time frame for delivery.
  2. No existing local presence or staff on the ground.
  3. Global market conditions with 80% lower candidate response rates to job ads.
  4. No existing networks or candidate database in Manila - meaning 3X Partners had to start from scratch.


The RESULT


3X Partners successfully delivered 99 hires across Sydney and Manila, with an average time-to-fill of 17 days.


A key highlight of our partnership was between December 2020 and December 2021, when we partnered with Simcorp to build their CoE, scaling rapidly while maintaining quality.


This collaboration strengthened SimCorp’s global capability and demonstrated the long-term value of our partnership.

more interesting'' 

What are the 2 biggest improvements 3X Partners made to SimCorp's hiring practices?

 

  1.  The process – time that you invest upfront plus your assessment methods so we don’t meet ‘’duds’’ 
  2. Moving quickly (we took forever before) & the quality of candidates. Oops, sorry that's 3! 


"My favourite thing about partnering with you were the [3X Partners] people..."
