FAQ

Banking & Finance Recruitment FAQs

Do you recruit for senior finance roles like Finance Director or CFO?

Yes, through Executive Search — senior finance hires are run as a discreet, dedicated search, not through the standard permanent process.

Can you cover a temporary gap during our audit or year-end?

Yes — Temporary & Contract Staffing covers short-term gaps like reporting cycles, audits or unexpected leave, without a permanent hire.

Do your candidates have relevant regulatory or compliance experience?

We screen for it before anyone reaches your shortlist — regulatory and compliance experience is checked as part of our standard process, not left for you to find out at interview.

Can you run our whole finance hiring process for us?

Yes, through Recruitment Process Outsourcing — we run all or part of your finance hiring function, at whatever volume you need.
