The challenge

The goals were to transform the composition of Trustly's Global Legal & Risk team, bringing in talent who had experience of operating in disruptive sectors. It was critical to move at pace, to ease the pressure on the existing team and to support a business going through growth.

What Scene built

15 hires in 4 months and a high caliber Legal & Risk team to service the Trustly business across the US, UK and Europe.

What made Scene stand out

Because of their understanding of disruptive sectors, what is needed to build a cohesive team and networks of quality candidates who can succeed in these environments. They get the personality types that will thrive in a start-up and the pace at which roles need to be filled.

What our clients said

As a partner who understands the wider transformation you want to execute on and the new culture you are trying to create, and who takes an interest in ensuring that all the pieces of the new team fit together. I have worked with Scene twice now and that's what you get.

Every other agency I have worked with has struggled to match candidate quality with pace of execution.

The overall service - ie speed, quality of candidates, pragmatism and good judgement are second to none.
