The best CFO and VP Finance candidates available are not pursuing new opportunities through job boards or networking. We believe in the power of head-hunting; we proactively canvas the market to ensure that all potential candidates are identified and approached on our client’s behalf.
We take the time to learn about our client’s culture, professional objectives and ensure that the search mandate is properly aligned with our client’s immediate and long-term business objectives.
Once we defined the preferred CFO or VP Finance candidate profile, we thoroughly research the market to identify and then approach all the potential candidates.
The first part of the interview is conducted by the recruitment lead and hones in on education and experience. If the potential candidate has the right professional experience and personality profile, a second interview is conducted by the project manager and focuses on the specific challenges and mandate of the position.
The short-list is presented to the client with a briefing of each candidate, addressing specific strengths, potential limitations, remuneration requirements and an overall assessment of how well the candidate fits the original profile.
After each interview in the cycle, the hiring authority and candidate are debriefed to determine level of interest and possible areas of concern. Once the client and candidate(s) are in the final interview stage, we work with both parties to lay the ground work for virtually all parts of the offer. This includes base remuneration, performance pay, vacation, title, start date, and any other any matters unresolved or not yet specified.
We encourage our clients to hold to the high standards and criteria established at the beginning of the search. We’ll keep working with you until you are entirely satisfied that you’ve made the best possible hire.
