JP Morgan Chase UK
Service: Talent Acquisition as a Service (TAAS) – Team Build Out
Project: Green-Field Tech Build
Background
JP Morgan Chase UK embarked on an ambitious project to disrupt the UK banking sector by launching a new Digital Bank, with a startup-like ethos. A key component of this initiative was assembling an exceptional tech team that could rapidly build, scale, and sustain the digital platform while maintaining service quality. The challenge lay in building this team from scratch in a highly competitive tech landscape.
Our Approach
In close collaboration with JP Morgan Chase UK's CTO and senior leadership, In Motion developed a strategic hiring and team-building framework that prioritised both speed and quality in recruitment.
Refining Recruitment Processes: We streamlined the interview and onboarding procedures to ensure a smooth, efficient hiring process that could scale rapidly while maintaining a high bar for talent.
Community Engagement: To attract top-tier candidates, we organised tech community events and initiatives, fostering enthusiasm for the Digital Bank's mission and positioning JP Morgan as a desirable employer.
Knowledge Transfer: We embedded ourselves within JP Morgan’s leadership team to impart scalable recruitment methodologies. This ensured that once the initial hires were made, the internal team could continue expanding efficiently with minimal external support.
Result
Over a two-year period, In Motion successfully facilitated the recruitment of more than 200 high-calibre tech experts. These efforts directly contributed to the successful launch and operational foundation of JP Morgan's Digital Bank. Key outcomes include:
1 million new customers onboarded within the first year post-launch.
A fully scalable, self-sufficient internal hiring process, reducing future dependency on external recruiters.
In the Media
The launch of JP Morgan's Digital Bank garnered significant media attention, with widespread coverage in both industry-specific publications and mainstream news outlets. The bank's fresh approach to digital services and its rapid market penetration became a key narrative in the UK’s evolving banking landscape.
Conclusion:
In Motion’s partnership with JP Morgan Chase UK proved pivotal in driving the Digital Bank’s successful launch and rapid growth. By leveraging our TAAS model, we ensured the swift and effective build-out of their tech team, while instilling a sustainable hiring process for future growth. This project highlights the value of hands-on, scalable talent acquisition strategies in supporting ambitious growth goals.
