What makes this sector hard

  • Function-specific signal

    Banking, FP&A, treasury, investment, risk and compliance each need a different rubric. We build one per requisition.

  • Regulated-environment evidence

    Basel, MiFID II, Dodd-Frank, IFRS 9, CECL shape the seat. Regulatory exposure is a structured signal, not a keyword search.

  • Systems and reporting stack

    ERP, consolidation, treasury and risk platforms are captured in intake so shortlists reflect the actual operating environment.

  • Level calibration

    Senior finance roles need judgement evidence, not tool lists. Rubrics per level surface decision scope and ownership described on the CV.

The evidence we score against

Every candidate is scored against the role's rubric, and every score points back to a specific line in the CV. For finance, these are the signals that carry weight:

  • Rubric per finance function and level
  • Regulatory exposure captured
  • Systems and reporting stack captured

Certifications and credentials that matter here

  • CFA
  • FRM
  • ACA / ACCA / CIMA
  • CPA
  • PRM
  • CAIA

Regulatory and compliance requirements

  • Basel III/IV exposure for banking risk hires
  • MiFID II / EMIR exposure for markets roles
  • SOX controls exposure for reporting hires
  • SMCR (UK) / FINRA (US) history where relevant

What your shortlist looks like

  1. A ranked set of candidates, each with a score and the evidence behind it.
