What the CEO and recruiters look for in Senior Financial Executives: Insight into the mind of the CEOs and recruiters who hire Senior Financial Executives
Cliff Scheffel, Managing Partner, KarrScheffel
The two people who most impact the search process for senior executives are the CEO and the recruiter they utilize. Yes the board/audit committee may have a big say in the hire and companies do not always use recruiters to find senior executives, but most of the time the CEO and the recruiter control the search and your destiny in the search process. Learn, from an executive recruiter who has had a successful career as both a recruiter and as an accounting professional, about how he approaches the search and what he and the CEOs he works with look for in candidates. |
