Success Stories
Agile Talent Delivery at Scale for a Global Consultancy
Client Overview
A world-leading consultancy operating across multiple continents, delivering complex, business-critical programmes at scale. Over the course of our partnership, Gazelle Global has made more than 3,000 placements and generated over £100 million in revenue, making this client one of our longest-standing and most successful relationships. We are a direct vendor and trusted partner in multiple countries.
The Challenge
The client was embarking on a major transformation initiative, requiring highly specialised talent across several international locations — and at pace. With 30 agencies engaged, competition was intense, and the requirement was to secure quality candidates within tight timeframes.
Our Solution
Gazelle Global executed a focused headhunting campaign, leveraging our global network and market knowledge to engage with hard-to-reach, passive candidates. Within just one week, we successfully placed 6 of the 10 key roles, outperforming 30 other suppliers in both speed and calibre of delivery.

Optimising Global Talent Delivery for a Leading European Bank
Client Overview
One of the largest banking groups in the Netherlands, with operations across Europe and beyond. Gazelle Global has placed over 1,700 professionals with this client and generated more than £75 million in revenue through our ongoing partnership. We are a Tier 1 vendor and trusted partner, providing talent solutions across all the bank’s business units.
The Challenge
The client had historically relied on multiple consultancies to support their hiring needs but lacked direct access to a truly global, flexible workforce. This created inefficiencies, extended the supply chain, and resulted in longer time to hire, all of which put pressure on project timelines and delivery.
Our Solution
Gazelle Global streamlined the process by offering direct access to global talent pools through a more agile, centralised model. Working collaboratively across our UK and Netherlands offices, we significantly shortened the supply chain and reduced time to hire. Our global reach allowed us to fulfil contingent workforce needs across all areas of the bank’s business units quickly and efficiently. “The way of the Gazelle”
The Outcome
- 1,700+ placements delivered to date
- Over £75 million in revenue generated through the partnership
- Established as a Tier 1 vendor
- Reduced time-to-hire through shorter supply chains and direct access to global talent
- Trusted as a strategic partner for workforce planning and delivery across all the bank’s business units
Streamlining Global Workforce Solutions: Our Success as MSP for a Leading Financial Institution
Client Overview
A leading Dutch financial institution, part of one of our largest global banking clients. This institution is the only one in the world that exclusively engages in liquidity and information management solutions for multinational corporations. Gazelle Global has placed over 656 professionals with this client, generating more than £55 million in revenue as their Managed Service Provider (MSP) since our partnership began in 2020.
The Challenge
The client had been working with many consultancies and suppliers, which led to inefficiencies and a fragmented approach to managing their global workforce. They sought a single, reliable partner to centralise their recruitment process, optimise talent delivery, and reduce complexities across multiple regions.
Our Solution
Gazelle Global was selected as the MSP in 2020, following our success with the parent company. With a focus on delivering a streamlined, centralised recruitment process, we leveraged our multilingual, multiskilled teams based across our three offices in Europe and our UK headquarters. This geographic and linguistic diversity allowed us to engage with talent pools across various regions and seamlessly support the client’s global needs. By combining deep industry expertise with a collaborative approach, we simplified and enhanced the recruitment process, outperforming other well-established MSPs in both speed and quality of delivery.
The Outcome
- 656+ placements delivered to date
- Over £55 million in revenue generated as the MSP
- Successfully centralised the client’s global recruitment process
- Established as a trusted partner, outperforming better-known MSPs in both speed and quality of delivery “The way of the Gazelle”
