Transforming Talent Leadership Capability for a Global Technology Enterprise

Client
Global Technology Enterprise
5,000+ employees | APAC growth phase

Challenge

The organisation was entering a critical expansion phase across Australia and Asia Pacific. While the business had strong product and commercial momentum, the Talent Acquisition function lacked executive leadership capability required to support sustained growth.

Hiring velocity was inconsistent, leadership hiring required greater rigour, and workforce planning lacked alignment with business expansion priorities.

The CHRO required a partner capable of advising on talent capability, leadership structure, and executive hiring strategy.

Approach

Civitas Advisory partnered directly with executive leadership to assess the maturity and structure of the Talent Acquisition function.

This included:

• Market benchmarking of enterprise Talent Acquisition leadership capability
• Advisory on optimal leadership structure to support regional growth
• Executive talent mapping across enterprise technology organisations
• Strategic guidance on leadership profile design and capability requirements

This advisory phase ensured the role and leadership structure were aligned to long-term organisational needs.

Solution

Civitas Advisory conducted a targeted executive search across enterprise technology organisations, focusing on leaders with proven experience scaling Talent Acquisition functions in complex, high-growth environments.

Alongside executive search delivery, Civitas provided ongoing advisory support to ensure alignment between talent leadership capability and business strategy.

Impact

Following the leadership appointment, the organisation achieved:

• Strengthened executive leadership capability within Talent Acquisition
• Improved hiring consistency and leadership quality
• Greater alignment between workforce planning and business growth
• Increased internal stakeholder confidence in talent strategy

Strategic Outcome

The organisation established a scalable Talent Acquisition leadership function capable of supporting continued enterprise growth across APAC.
