“The team at Berkley provided invaluable insights on the recruitment market and helped us find the right person for the job.”
A Dedicated Local Resource Partner
In 2020, Remitly set up an office in Cork, Ireland and has since has taken up residence in the state-of-the-art Penrose Dock development. This office oversees money laundering and anti-fraud operations along with financial regulatory compliance. Berkley has supported the growth of Remitly’s Cork team through the successful placement of key individuals.
To support the delivery of qualified technology consultants to Remitly, Berkley established a dedicated technology recruitment team. Key to this strategy was Berkley’s use of an innovative AI-powered talent pool platform to identify and source numerous high-quality candidates.
Results
Berkley successfully placed a number of key individuals that would go on to play a key part in Remitly’s Engineering team. Berkley’s ability to combine advanced AI and human-driven approaches to source, engage, retain and deliver suitable local resources, was paramount to the division’s growth which continues to the present day.
