Expanding Horizons: how Catena helped Sicoob recruit beyond the big cities

As one of Brazil's largest financial cooperatives, we at Sicoob believe in cooperation, belonging, social responsibility, and financial justice. With more than 7 million people working together, we are building a better world.

Our expansion means bringing services, care, and opportunities to cities and regions that have often been underserved. Hiring is a constant challenge, especially when we need professionals with specific qualifications in the exact cities or regions where we operate.

We recently faced this challenge when looking for a Relationship Manager in Sumaré, a city in the interior of São Paulo state. That is when we discovered Catena through a Google search, and we were excited by the prospect of receiving pre-screened candidates ready for interviews within 48 hours.

Catena's work was focused on understanding not only Sicoob, but also our values, priorities, and the specifics of the role. Within a few days, we received a shortlist of pre-qualified candidates with the competencies we were looking for, all available to work on-site in Sumaré, São Paulo.

In less than two weeks, we found the right professional thanks to Catena's efficient recruitment and selection process. With Catena's help, we continue to expand our presence throughout Brazil, bringing more financial justice to people everywhere.
