Former Citi Recruiting Executive Seth Welty and his Co-Founder Ana Agneshwar have launched Elevenwall, a pioneering search firm designed to optimize pipelining and hiring outcomes for alternative investment firms and boutique investment banks.
“We want to disrupt the status quo in recruiting. The industry just hasn’t kept up with the evolving needs of candidates or hiring managers. Embracing technology and diversity of thought is key to attracting and retaining rock stars” – Ana Agneshwar, Co-Founder and CEO
Financial companies seeking the very best talent face significant headwinds. They are overwhelmed by the high volume of applicants. Yet the exceptional individuals these employers covet are exiting the ecosystem for technology and start-up firms. The candidate success profile continues to evolve and bulge bracket banks are no longer providing the talent needed. At the same time competitive demands and changing demographics require firms to diversify their talent pool.
According to a study conducted by CEB, “Companies that exceed 65% hires through employee referral reduce their firm’s ability to innovate due to a lack of unique experiences and perspectives”. An article published in the Harvard Business Review stated that “Employers who actively seek out diversity of thought are 45% more likely to report market share growth and 70% more likely to report capturing a new market”.
Elevenwall is perfectly positioned to address these challenges and help capitalize on the value of sourcing from a more inclusive talent pool and quantifying candidate potential. The company employs a unique approach that leverages the latest technologies to design custom recruiting solutions for their clients. Their flexible platform automates the process, delivers higher quality hires and improves the hiring experience for candidates and employers.
Elevenwall is currently working with early adopters to identify additional anchor clients for 2017. To learn more, contact Ana Agneshwar, Co-Founder and CEO, at ana.agneshwar@elevenwall.com or visit www.elevenwall.com.
