Placement of a Valuations Assistant Manager at a Top 20 Firm in London
In the competitive landscape of the accountancy world, securing top talent is critical for firms aiming to grow their position within the market. Our case study explores the successful placement of a Valuations Assistant Manager with Top 20 firm in London.
The candidate, initially not considering a career move, became highly interested once they learned more about the opportunity and vision for the Valuations team.
Process
Our candidate had a good understanding of their strengths and direction they want to take their career, which played a pivotal role in identifying a role that matched their career aspirations. They had built a good level of Business Development experience through extensive exposure within a small team. However, the candidate’s current firm lacked a collaborative environment, and they sought a more advisory-focused role.
Initially, the candidate was not actively seeking new opportunities. They were relatively content with their current role but felt some dissatisfaction due to the lack of advisory work. The candidate’s interest was piqued when they learned about the project and the potential career growth at our client firm.
Understanding the candidate’s career aspirations and strengths was crucial in identifying a suitable role. The candidate had a clear vision of what they enjoyed and excelled at, particularly in advisory work and collaborative environments. They expressed a desire to leverage their BD experience in a more impactful way.
The candidate carefully considered the opportunity, weighing the pros and cons. They were particularly drawn to the nature of the work, the firms culture and collaborative approach, not to the opportunities for future career progression.
