Case Study
The Business Services practice was recently invited by the CEO and Group CFO of a FTSE 200 organisation to assist with the recruitment of two Divisional Finance Directors. The incumbent recruitment partner had failed to deliver a qualified shortlist for the two roles.
Given the profile of the roles a highly proactive recruitment methodology was adopted. Operating on a retained basis a hybrid approach of executive search and advertised selection was undertaken. Assisted by the in house research team twenty target organisations were identified and selected Finance Directors were approached. In addition, the roles were advertised on the front page of the Financial Times. The advert yielded a response of 120 candidates. The response from the search and advert were screened and suitably qualified candidates were interviewed against the brief for each role. A qualified shortlist of five candidates for each role was delivered to client within four weeks. After a series on client interviews two candidates accepted the respective Finance Director roles. As a result of this success the practice is now the recruitment partner for all senior appointment across all functional disciplines within this Growth Business Services organisation.
