Graduate Solutions were involved at every stage of the campaign from helping Renaissance Capital to develop and execute an on-campus marketing campaign to screening and assessment centre design and delivery. We identified a third-party vendor to create a suite of marketing materials to support the on-campus activities – including a new careers microsite, a portfolio of advertisements, careers brochure and presentation materials for roadshow events. We advised on the format and programme of events and attended alongside Renaissance Capital representatives as a seamless extension of their team. We also looked towards the market of Russian students studying abroad and used our expertise in the UK, continental Europe and the US to market the opportunities to these students as well.

All applications were screened by Graduate Solutions associates, tested online and then invited to attend a carefully crafted assessment centres which were rolled out on eight separate occasions in Moscow, Kiev, New York and London. Some 120 candidates were assessed by our team, alongside Renaissance Capital HR,  through a mixture of psychometric profiling, aptitude tests, group exercises and face to face interviews – in both Russian and English. The resulting shortlisted candidates were progressed to final round interviews in Moscow with the Investment Banking team.
