THE SITUATION
A Friday Night Crisis. A Monday Morning Solution.
When a leading Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) discovered their entire data infrastructure had been compromised by a cyberattack, they had one weekend to prevent catastrophic data loss and regulatory exposure. They called Huntsmen & Barons.
What followed was a masterclass in crisis recruitment: senior engagement within the hour, a dedicated sourcing team working through the weekend, and a fully briefed security team on-site by Monday morning — 48 hours from the first call.
HOW IT UNFOLDED
Five Stages. One Weekend. Zero Compromise.
The engagement moved across five distinct phases — each one critical to delivering the outcome the client needed.
01. Client Challenge
A prominent NBFC in India faced a critical situation. A cyberattack threatened the security of their entire data infrastructure. The Talent Head for the client reached out directly to H&B on a Friday night, highlighting the urgency of bringing on skilled professionals.
02. Our Response
Recognising the gravity of the situation, our team sprang into action. Our Managing Partner immediately connected the client with one of the Business Heads at H&B, ensuring a seamless transition and minimised any delay.
03. Recognising Urgency
The business head and their team worked relentlessly through the weekend — sourcing top-tier candidates, conducting thorough interviews, and swiftly finalising the onboarding process.
04. Monday Morning Ready
By Monday morning, our team of elite professionals was on-site at the client's office, ready to resolve the server breakdown and address data security risks.
THE OUTCOME
