Our sister site FD Capital Recruitment is seeing really strong growth at the moment, the London recruitment market has at last recovered from the three pandemic lockdowns which have restricted the market so much between 2019 and 2021.
Now the worse of that is behind us, they are seeing growing interest in Finance Director and CFO roles. FD Capital focusses on PE and VC funded businesses, the backgrounds of their Directors are all in technology businesses of various sizes and stages of development from Seed stage right through to fully listed Plc.
With these skills in mind they are making a name for themselves in the London market and especially in the CFO recruitment niche. To learn more about them and particularly if you are a London based busines looking for your next CFO or FD they will be delighted to hear from you, their website can be found at https://www.fdcapital.co.uk
Whilst based in Great Portland Street, they cover London and the South East and the rest of the Country they support using their national network of FDs and CFOs.
A lot of their candidates are amongst the best on the market and they have specialisms such as Fintech, E-Commerce, Saas (Software as a Service) ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and many more besides.
How they work
If one of our team is available and the location works then we put them forward as preferred candidates, as we already know them and they have a track record with us. If an opportunity comes along that is outside of the areas where our FD’s and CFO’s are based (less of an issue now that businesses are more open to remote working) then we go out to the market in much the same way as regular Senior Finance Recruitment service does. We use Linkedin a lot and find that we can attract strong interest if we advertise roles with them.
There are many benefits to being part of our network, these include:
- Getting first refusal on new opportunities
- Sharing advice and tips from other members of our team.
- Meeting up for a social and chat, its surprising how isolated being a Portfolio FD or CFO can become.
- A team you can turn to for help and advice
- A panel of PE houses and Venture capitalist who can help with fund raising for clients.
If you are interested in joining our network please reach out to us today.
