Placement of Chief Financial Officer, Engineering Consultancy, Midlands
Overview
After building a breadth of experience across finance, operations and business leadership, the candidate was actively looking for a chief financial officer role within a small to medium sized business which was aligned to their previous experiences.
Process
“I was ready for the move however there were a fair amount of challenges along the way. These included identifying the right target sectors and types of organisations to maximise my chances of success. This was a collaborative process with Adlestrop, leading to a filtered list of organisations based on sector and size.”
Our pro-active communication strategy re-assured the candidate throughout the process with regular updates, discussions and advice.
“I had seen a number positive reviews on Charles’ LinkedIn profile which led to my initial contact. I followed this up with a face to face meeting with Charles which gave me confidence on his knowledge and modus operandi. Equally, Charles could identify an opportunity in us working together leading to the establishment of mutually beneficial business opportunity.”
Once a candidate receives an offer, Adlestrop work through the fine details with them to ensure that all of their requirements are met and to discuss any questions or concerns which we can then discuss with our client.
“We discussed the offer outlines, including some of my concerns and having agreed the broad structure of the offer, Charles worked with the client and delivered the same. This is what I had always wanted, rather than getting into a form of negotiation where either party felt hard done by – after all it is important to start a new relationship with a clean position and Adlestrop helped me in that.”
Result
“The role is exciting and I am confident with the value I can bring into this role and it is good match. There is a relationship that has been built with Charles and it has been a pleasure working with Charles.
I see my next role through Adlestrop should keep me busy in foreseeable future but will be open to a challenging opportunity that Adlestrop may identify for me at the appropriate time. There is a relationship in place which is key.
I see Charles as a recruiter is very different and I will be happy to recommend Adlestrop to others”
