Is sector experience important in Qualified recruitment and what makes it important? FMCG, Manufacturing, Financial Services, Engineering, Construction – the list goes on. I’ve had countless conversations with clients who are looking to recruit Finance Directors, Financial Controllers, Finance Business Partners etc. and are adamant that they need to see relevant industry experience. Of course, I totally get the principle and the likely short-term gain of someone coming in who knows the fast-paced nature of FMCG or the regulatory requirements of FS, but I also wonder if this can make industries quite incestuous. Does this mean that new ideas are less forthcoming, and the same (sometimes outdated) processes never change or develop? Candidates will always insist they can easily pivot their experience from a service-based industry to a manufacturing environment but is it that easy? Interested to hear the thoughts of candidates and clients who have had positive or negative experiences with sector changes.

Is delegating your finance hiring the right move or just an additional expense for the company? 🤔 The short answer? It's the right move 👍 Here's why: When you're hiring for your core business, which is the primary revenue driver, having internal experts who understand the domain is crucial for finding the best talent. For example, in a tech company, having internal experts for tech hiring is essential, and delegating this responsibility wouldn't make sense. However, delegating makes sense when it comes to finance hiring, which typically accounts for about 5% of your workforce across most domains. Investing in an in-house finance recruitment expert can be costly, making outsourcing a more cost-effective option. Moreover, outsourcing finance hiring allows you to leverage the expertise of a specialized finance recruitment firm, reducing the likelihood of turnover and ensuring better hiring outcomes.
