  • ✓You're hiring a CFO, finance director, or head of finance
  • ✓The hire is board-critical, business-critical, or needs strict confidentiality
  • ✓You need market mapping and a discreet approach to reach passive leaders

YOU MAY NOT NEED EXECUTIVE SEARCH WHEN...

  • —The role sits below CFO/FD level and the scope is well-defined
  • —It's a repeat hire — brief, expectations and success measures are set
  • —A targeted management-level process will produce a shortlist faster
