We're in market with this talent every single day. Even without a live mandate, we're building relationships before they're actively looking: with Big 4 CPAs and investment bankers, and with finance leaders who started at a Big 4 firm or in investment banking and have since moved into industry. When your search launches, we're not starting cold, we're calling people who already know us. Then the video process does what job descriptions can't: candidates watch your hiring manager talk about the role before the first call, and suddenly the best people, the ones who never return recruiter calls, are leaning in. Most passive candidates tell recruiters no. They tell us yes to reviewing the Position Package, and that is usually all it takes.

Candidates hear about the role from your hiring manager on video, through a Position Package, before the first call. Finalists complete structured video interviews your team can review in the Hazeltine Portal. AI does the prep. People make the calls.

Yes. An interim CFO or Controller can step in while the permanent search runs in parallel.
A lot of recruiting is LinkedIn InMails and emails sent out in bulk, hoping something sticks. We build a targeted list for every search, and our first outreach is a phone call. The best finance leaders aren't scrolling job boards or talking to five recruiters. They get plenty of messages and very few calls. Across hundreds of searches, the phone call has found our best candidates, the ones who weren't looking. Then the Position Package lets them see the hiring manager and the role on video before the first interview.
