Project Overview

Securitas, a global leader in protective services, needed a strategic partner to support global talent acquisition for Microsoft data centre security teams across EMEA and APAC. With aggressive growth targets in diverse regions, they required experienced recruiters embedded within their internal teams to deliver quickly and consistently.

Rent a Recruiter was engaged to provide fully embedded talent acquisition professionals capable of delivering senior operational and functional hires at pace, while also offering strategic insights into niche talent markets.

Our Global Talent Acquisition Approach 

Our team deployed 4 fully embedded recruiters across the Securitas Microsoft programme, with dedicated resources for EMEA (Ireland, UK, France, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Middle East) and APAC (Australia, India, Singapore, Japan, Korea, Malaysia).

Our team worked as an extension of Securitas’ internal HR and People teams, focusing on delivering high-quality candidates across multiple specialist and senior roles. In addition to hiring, we supported with salary benchmarking, market trend analysis, and hiring manager training to ensure long-term recruitment success.
