Consider organisations that struggle to reach their goals because their hiring strategies fall short.

Finance leaders who fail to meet their key performance objectives often lack A-grade talent, those committed to making a difference.

As a finance leader, ask yourself:

**Are you partnering with an A-grade recruiter who can not only fill a vacancy but also maximise your ability to attract top-tier talent?**

The best recruiters don’t just share job descriptions, they;

- Sell the vision of your finance function

- Explain how the role will evolve within that vision

- Highlight the impact the role will have on long-term career growth

- Immediately identify suitable candidates through extensive market mapping and ongoing relationships

- Position the role effectively for different audiences on a 1:1 basis

- Have the emotional intelligence to ask tough questions and ensure cultural fit

- Avoid pushing candidates into roles or overselling knowing it will come out in the wash

It could be the Head of Financial Control missing out on their personal performance bonus.

Or the Head of Business Partnering unable to influence key business decisions or execute strategic initiatives.

Or the CFO dealing with a team that's constantly burning out.

Having a strong, ongoing relationship with a top recruiter in their field, established through a well-considered process will make all the difference.

The right recruiter becomes a strategic partner, helping you secure the best talent to build a high-performing, resilient team.

They help you get the right people on the bus, which is key to your success.
