Finance Director – Property & Building Services

The client was a privately owned rapidly growing property and building services company.

Following a period of rapid growth the Managing Director was looking to take on an individual who could take the lead role over Finance and IT as well a playing a major role in the broader general management of the company. The individual would need to possess the requisite financial and general management skills combined with the right personality fit to slot into the business and work successfully with the Managing Director.

The method we employed involved headhunting from companies in the sector, combined with approaching our network of known candidates who posessed the right qualities and would be interested in a role of this nature.

The result was a shortlist of six candidates was presented within three weeks of taking on the brief. From the shortlist, three of the candidates stood out as having the right personality fit with the Managing Director. The role was offered and accepted with a candidate that came from our network who fitted the brief exactly.

Ian found Simon our Finance Director for us having tracked his career for a number of years. Simon was one of a number of highly competent candidates that Ian presented to us, all of whom would have fitted the bill in terms of their ability to do the job, giving us the ability to make our selection for all the right reasons. Simon was looking for a company like ours and so in many ways it was a marriage made in heaven. Ian worked with us to get the brief right so that we did not have to ask difficult questions later (which was excellent since over 150 people applied for the position). I would freely recommend threesixty to anyone who is embarked on the sometimes expensive and potentially frustrating journey of executive search.
