Questions
Common questions
Which roles do you hire for?
Senior finance, audit and risk leadership: CFOs, Finance Directors, Financial Controllers, Heads of Internal Audit, Chief Risk Officers and other department-head roles, through our Saudi Arabia, UAE and Pakistan Chapters.
Do you use AI to choose candidates?
AI helps us review every application against the agreed role requirements, quickly and consistently. It doesn't make the final decision: our team reviews every shortlist before it reaches you.
What is the technical assessment?
Our technical assessment is a timed set of scenario-based questions, asked by our AI agents, that candidates answer on video. The questions are built around the real challenges of the role and designed with qualified finance practitioners, so it shows how a candidate applies their expertise, not just what their CV says.
Can you run a confidential search?
Yes. We can run a search without naming your company publicly. Candidates learn who the client is only once they are shortlisted and you agree.
Where do you work?
We run leadership mandates through our Saudi Arabia Chapter and UAE Chapter, and our newest Chapter in Pakistan. Each has its own dedicated team and network.
I am a finance professional. How do I apply?
Browse our open leadership roles and apply to the ones that fit. Every application is reviewed against the role's agreed requirements, and we contact you before your profile is shared for any role you did not apply for.
