I am mainly responsible for ensuring that our recruitment processes run smoothly and effectively, focusing on quality and making sure both candidates and clients are happy at every step. I also specialize in the German market, where we’ve built a strong network.

With my German background, I manage relationships with clients and candidates in that region, ensuring we meet their specific needs.

Can you tell us more about your role and how it has evolved since you joined?

When I joined Treasurer Search in 2023, I began as a Search and Project Coordinator, focusing on organizing appointments, managing data, and ensuring the quality of our processes. Now, as a Recruitment Consultant, I help candidates find the right jobs and engage with clients to build long-term relationships, with a special focus on the German market. It’s been exciting to see my role evolve, and I truly enjoy contributing to the growth of the treasury community in Germany, while also maintaining a high standard of quality management.

What attracted you to a career in treasury recruitment, and what do you find most exciting about this field?

I love working with people, and treasury recruitment gives me the chance to make a difference in someone’s career. I enjoy helping candidates take their next step while also assisting clients in finding the best professionals for their needs. What I find most exciting is the long-term relationships we build—it’s about more than just filling a position; it’s about supporting people throughout their career journey.

Plus, every job is different, and every client has unique needs, which keeps the work interesting and challenging. I enjoy the variety and the opportunity to learn and grow while finding the best fit for both candidates and clients.

Can you explain your approach to networking and relationship-building within the treasury community?

At Treasurer Search, we focus on building long-term relationships. From the start, we make it clear to clients and candidates that we are here to support them in the long run, not just for one project. This helps us create trust and ensures they feel comfortable coming back to us whenever they need help.

In your experience, what skills have proven to be most essential for someone in your role?

Good communication is very important, especially when contacting clients or candidates for the first time. Being honest and clear helps to build trust. Staying organized and proactive is also essential so that candidates and clients always feel supported. But also understanding the treasury market is key to having meaningful conversations and offering the right solutions.
