A mistake I still see some businesses make when hiring finance roles.

Writing a job description based on what the last person did.

Often the business has changed, the team has changed and the priorities have changed, but the job spec hasn’t.

The best recruitment usually happens when businesses step back and ask: “What do we actually need this person to achieve in the next few years?”

Not just what the last person was doing.

If you’re hiring within your finance team and want a second opinion on salary levels or job specs, feel free to get in touch.
