Recruiting in finance requires a clear understanding of technical skills, regulatory requirements, business challenges and the level of responsibility associated with each position.

For certain strategic roles, the best candidates are not always actively looking for a new opportunity. They are often already employed, regularly approached by other organizations and less visible on traditional job platforms.

Our finance headhunting service helps you identify, approach, assess and recruit qualified professionals for positions in finance, accounting, taxation, audit, financial control, FP&A and financial leadership.

Our finance headhunting process

1. Analysis of your needs and financial environment

We begin by gaining a clear understanding of your organization, financial structure, internal challenges, business priorities and the specific role you need to fill.

This step allows us to define the responsibilities, required level of experience, technical skills, interactions with senior management and the criteria that will determine a successful hire.

2. Definition of the target candidate profile

We develop a clear and realistic candidate profile based on the required skills, professional background, management style, certifications, level of autonomy and desired industry experience.

The objective is to target the right professionals from the beginning and avoid a search that is too broad or poorly aligned with your needs.

3. Targeted search and market mapping

We identify potential candidates in relevant environments, including corporate finance, accounting, taxation, audit, accounting firms, private companies, public organizations and specialized sectors.

This targeted search gives you access to professionals who may not be actively browsing job postings but could be open to the right opportunity.

4. Direct and confidential approach

Selected candidates are approached professionally and discreetly.

Confidentiality is especially important for executive positions, sensitive replacements, competitive recruitment mandates or situations where an organization does not want to make the search public.

5. Candidate qualification and interviews

We assess candidates based on their experience, achievements, technical skills, motivations, salary expectations and overall fit with the position.

Depending on the mandate, the assessment may also cover leadership, team management skills, understanding of business challenges, financial rigour, ethical judgment and the ability to communicate effectively with different stakeholders.

6. Presentation of selected candidates

We present qualified candidates along with useful information to support your decision-making, including their background, motivations, key skills, expectations, availability and any important considerations.

Our objective is to help you meet candidates who are genuinely aligned with your criteria rather than providing a high volume of less relevant profiles.

7. Support throughout the final selection process

We can assist you with interview preparation, candidate comparisons, follow-ups, reference checks and other validation steps.

When relevant, psychometric testing or additional assessments can also be incorporated into the process.

8. Support through to hiring

We support you throughout candidate communications, expectation management, the employment offer and follow-ups leading up to onboarding.

This final step helps secure the hire and promote a smooth transition into your organization.
