Lloyds Banking Group, with the help of Marks Sattin, hosted an interview speed-dating event to recruit several senior managers.
The merger of banking giants Lloyds TSB and HBOS (Halifax Bank of Scotland) in January 2009 was inevitably going to lead to a huge integration in every division throughout the newly merged organisation. And such was the case in the IT finance team. David Rowsell, head of finance - IT supply, group IT finance at Lloyds Banking Group, told Recruiter that up until recently the company had been recruiting contractors instead of hiring permanent employees. “We were relying too much on contractors,” he said, “and it was time to recruit more permanent senior-management positions.”
