GCF was established by 194 governments to limit or reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in developing countries, and to help vulnerable societies adapt to the unavoidable impacts of climate change”.   The challenge – hiring 21 positions for the new Green Climate Fund  Soon after it was established in 2013, the Green Climate Fund (GCF) contracted SRI Executive to recruit 21 positions ranging from the Executive Director and senior management level to technical delivery teams. They included the following roles:  1. Executive Director  2. Advisor to the Executive Director  3. Chief Financial Officer  4. General Counsel  5. Country Climate Change Economist  6. Mitigation and Adaptation Director  7. Private Sector Facility Director  8. External Affairs Director  9. Country Programming Director  10. Information Communications Technology  Manager  11. Coordinator of Mitigation  12. Human Resources Specialist  13. Accredited Entities Specialist  14. Private Sector Specialist - Financial Institutes  15. Resource Mobilisation Specialist  16. Communications and Outreach Specialist  17. Private Sector Specialist - Project Finance  18. Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist  19. Procurement Specialist  20. Human Resources Officer  21. Financial Management Officer  Our strategy – forward planning and risk mitigation  SRI Executive planned the recruitment process across a number of phases to ensure that sufficient time and focus was dedicated to each role. We began the process by developing a detailed project management plan which identified milestones, deliverables and future risks including coordinating interview schedules, working across multiple time zones and the limited availability of the hiring managers. It was important for SRI Executive to understand all potential challenges at the start of the recruitment process. For example, a key challenge that we navigated was the limited number of staff employed at the Fund who were available to support the hiring process.   Our results – a successful recruitment process leading to further multiple hire projects  SRI Executive mitigated all challenges, and 21 candidates were successfully appointed at the Fund. The recruitment process was completed in just over six months, within budget and on time. Our well-developed and robust process has been subsequently used with the GCF for further multiple hire projects as the Fund has continued to grow. Shortly after this process, we partnered with the Fund to recruit an additional 14 positions.    Tags: [Multiple Hires](https://insights.sri-executive.com/tag/multiple-hires), [Case Study](https://insights.sri-executive.com/tag/case-study), [Executive Search](https://insights.sri-executive.com/tag/executive-search) [Back to Blog](https://insights.sri-executive.com) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) ## Related Articles ## [Leading Change: The Role of Senior Leaders and CHROs in Ensuring a Positive Employee Experience](https://insights.sri-executive.com/leading-change-the-role-of-senior-leaders-and-chros-in-ensuring-a-positive-employee-experience) In today’s dynamic business landscape, change is inevitable.
