Match of the Month – January 2024
A long time client of ours contacted us for the search of a treasury team lead. We were yet again able to successfully support them in their recruitment process!
We pay attention, we are present and show genuine interest. The Treasurer position in your company is vital, and recruiting the right candidate is essential. We realize it can be daunting to embark on the labor market to source for a specific role. Formulating what it is you are precisely looking for, and searching for the best available candidate is not easy, and a time-consuming task. The specific requirements for a treasurer role can be quite different from one company to another, and the experience of candidates differs.
From the start, we guide you with targeted insights. We have extensive knowledge of the Treasurer discipline, the potential candidates, the sector, and its developments. We believe excellence can only be achieved with targeted expertise and a personal approach.
We source fast but the relationship continues, we are relationship builders.
Are you expanding your team or looking for a successful replacement? If we have not met before, we take the necessary time to get to know you and your company first. Your activities, your market, personality and culture. We assess the potential challenges and specific market-related risks. We create a profile of the perfect candidate, together. We plan and execute the recruitment process, which includes database & executive search, as well as online advertisement. We meet candidates and present the best potential fit. We guide all parties successfully, through the process.
Our interim process is similar to the permanent position process. We remain in constant communication with our loyal candidate pool, enabling us to attract the best available candidate as soon as available. We know who can fill the gap and successfully manage the transition. Contractual, legal and regulatory aspects are important, and fully covered.
Integrity is always key, especially when you are looking for a candidate at the Group Treasurer level. We offer senior board-level experience, and confidentiality is vital. Candidates who possess not only the required technical skills and credentials but also the strong personality you need in the team. Let us inform you about our track record and help you at a strategic level.
The dynamics of this process are different from the requirement of recruiting a single professional. As a result of our extensive experience with successful team recruitment, it has become part of our services. Recruiting a treasury team demands a balanced approach. Finding the right personalities with a set of complementary skills is a challenging task. Our team of experienced senior and junior consultants complement each other, to build your treasury team.
We contributed to the development of this effective online assessment tool. The following insights triggered the need: “Less than 15% of people working in treasury completed a relevant education. Less than 50% of managers hiring a Treasurer have in-depth knowledge about the job content. So how do you know what to look for? How do you know you found the right one? How do you know this is your perfect next career step?” Based upon peer group comparison, statistically sound statements are made about expertise and personality. The test is deployed in exclusive assignments only.
To achieve good and fast results we prefer to work on an exclusive basis. We offer guarantees and the effective Treasurer Test as part of our services. However, we do understand that in particular circumstances a non-exclusive agreement is required. This scenario is sometimes acceptable for us. The guarantee clause is not applicable and the Treasurer Test is not part of the offer.

Our client S is a trading house that recruited a senior treasurer with whom we have been in touch with for a very long time.
The match of this month is a senior corporate finance director we placed in Dubai. We want to highlight this one to tell about how cultural differences transcend into operational recruitment processes.
If your ambition is to go up in hierarchy, two obvious paths come to mind: Group Treasurer (GT) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
Our client in the match of the month also has an office close to the German border and had a demanding assignment for us: find local talent that speaks Dutch AND has expertise in project finance
