Above is a brief video outlining what you can expect to happen next.
At CFO Recruit we want to make your life easy. We have designed our candidate registration portal to give you the flexibility to manage your account, updating it as your requirements change. In order to protect your confidentiality, we ensure our clients do not have access to our database.
When a corporation engages with us to appoint a CFO, we approach and discuss the vacancy with registered candidates matching the criteria of the role. There’s no need to have an initial registration interview but we will conduct a video interview about specific roles to assess suitability.
Our aim is to increase your chances of finding suitable employment. With this in mind, CFO Recruit consultants spend most of their time generating new vacancies for members and responding to client inquiries. Therefore, they may not be able to discuss individual vacancies with every candidate who meets the broad criteria of a position.
However, please be assured, that now you are a registered member of CFO Recruit. You will be considered for all relevant opportunities alongside all new applicants. Therefore, you will not be required to apply for any advertized positions within your search criteria.
Unfortunately, due to the high volume of candidates we have registering with us, you may not always be shortlisted for a vacancy you believe you are suitable for.
FAQs
What happens after I complete my registration?
How long does it take for my registration to be reviewed?
Your application will be approved within 2 business days, quite often a lot sooner.
What do I do if I have forgotten or not received a password?
If you do not receive a password or you cannot find your password, you can reset it by using the following link: https://cfo-recruit.com/forgotten-password. If you see the message ‘The user does not exist’, it means that you do not have an account with us. In this case, please email us at [email protected] and we can investigate things further.
How will I be contacted about vacancies?
When a suitable opportunity arises, we will notify you via email or SMS text about a potential vacancy that matches your requirements. The message will include instructions on the next steps. We will usually provide a calendar link to schedule a video call to discuss the opportunity in more detail.
Can I get help with my job search strategy?
We are primarily focused on active mandates and generating new vacancies, which means we currently don’t have the capacity for one-on-one conversations with everyone. However, we do offer support through our Monthly Group CFO Career Advisory Workshop. In this workshop, we provide general advice on job search strategies, market insights, and career planning. You can find more details and sign up for the next session here: https://cfo-recruit.net/
Additionally, we offer a wide range of resources for CFOs to assist with every stage of the job search process. Please visit our candidate resources section on the website by clicking the following link. https://cfo-recruit.com/candidate-resources/
If a role matches my requirements, will I definitely be contacted?
Not necessarily. There may be many candidates who match the broad criteria for a vacancy. In these cases, it will not be possible to discuss the vacancy with every candidate who meets these broad criteria. When this happens, we will scrutinize the ‘nice to have’ criteria set by the client until we have a manageable number of candidates we can reach out to. Given that we will want to present the client corporation with the most appropriate options matching their requirements, if you genuinely do not have a chance of securing the role, we will not contact you just to make up the numbers.
Will I be required to attend a registration interview?
As specialist headhunters, our approach differs from that of traditional staffing agencies. While standard agencies often conduct general registration interviews in anticipation of future openings, our primary focus is on actively generating vacancies. This means we dedicate the majority of our time to identifying and creating opportunities tailored to your expertise.
Consequently, we do not conduct routine check-in calls or require you to attend a registration interview until there is a specific vacancy to discuss. If you are invited for a registration interview, it will be with a particular role in mind, ensuring a more targeted and efficient process.
How long does it take to hear back about vacancies after registering?
The time frame can vary depending on the number of suitable vacancies available. Rest assured, we will reach out to you as soon as we identify a potential match. Please note that we will not have a vacancy for every candidate who registers. It is the client corporations who set their wish list of desired skills and experience. Sometimes they may set a high bar and this bar may be raised further if there is an unmanageable number of candidates who meet the initial criteria.
Can I still apply for specific job postings after registering?
If we find a role that fits your search criteria and you meet the client’s requirements, we will contact you. There is no need for you to apply for the position. Duplicating the work of our recruiters reduces their vacancy generation time so you do not need to apply for our advertized roles once you are registered.
What happens if I see a post advertized and I have not been contacted?
Due to client confidentiality, we may not post all criteria required for a position. There may be additional skills and experiences the client desires that aren’t detailed in the advert. Also, the client’s requirements may change during the process. Rest assured, if you genuinely match the client’s wish list, we will be in touch.
Will you send my details without contacting me first?
No, we would never send your details without first speaking to you about the opportunity. Not only is this unethical, but we want to ensure we only present the client with candidates who are both suitable and genuinely interested in their opportunity. It is not in anyone’s interest for us to do otherwise.
What do I do if my search criteria changes?
If your circumstances change or you wish to alter your search criteria you can login and amend these directly in your account area at https://cfo-recruit.com/login/
How often should I update my profile?
It’s a good idea to update your profile whenever there are significant changes to your experience, skills, or job search preferences. This helps us keep your information current and relevant for matching to suitable opportunities.
Will my information be shared with third parties?
Your information is confidential and will only be shared with potential employers with your consent. We do not share your details with any third parties without your approval.
What if I am not currently looking for a job but might be in the future?
You can still register with us even if you are not actively looking for a position. This ensures that we have your information on file and can reach out to you with opportunities that align with your future career goals.
What happens if I register then I am no longer looking?
Once you have found a new role you can deactivate your account via the login area. However, many CFOs choose to keep their account live so they can still be contacted about a role which may further their career. We are not a volume-based recruiter so you will soon find out that a specialist firm like CFO Recruit will not inundate you with opportunities. Therefore, it does you no harm to be kept in the loop with the market, especially if it can help your career.
