June Update
Welcome to all the candidates that have registered with us in the last month – over 150 of you. Although things are clearly slowing down in UK plc we are still getting new opportunities to offer you and we keep filling them. However the process can be either very fast (see MA 277 below) or very slow, so don’t delay if you see something of interest but bear with us if things seem to drag on. A few thoughts which might help the process:
- Please make sure that the latest version of your CV is on our database – you can upload a new version using the “member’s data” tab.
- Your CV is your “shop-window” so please make sure that you have done yourself justice.
- Please check that you have completed your professional qualification information on your member record including year qualified and Institute No. Please note that we validate all qualifications listed with the relevant Institute before short listing a candidate.
- When you apply for a position please give yourself the best chance of being short listed by explaining how and why you meet the criteria.
- We are starting to find more opportunities overseas and I am going to start marketing MA in the Middle East and UAE. If you are interested please let me know.
- We are now the preferred recruitment supplier for TaxAssist Accountants, a national network of 160 franchisees. Job 284 is going to be typical of the type of opportunity that we are going to be offering so if you are interested please let me know and your preferred location.
- Finally don’t forget that we will pay you 15% of our commission if you introduce an opportunity that we subsequently fill. Our candidates are becoming some of our best introducers and with over 2,200 of you we have a very powerful lobbying and marketing group.

An excellent response to this one and a number of candidates have now been short listed but it’s not too late to apply. For the right candidate this could lead to the CFO role by the end of the year but you must be an experienced Financial Controller and have large construction and contracting company experience.

Chosen candidate changed his mind at the last minute having agreed the deal 3 months previously! Current employer made him an offer he couldn’t refuse (that has happened twice this month – see 275). But we now have 2 even better candidates in the frame and they are having 2nd interviews next week – it’s a bit like the Apprentice as the client has told me – “and one of them will get hired!”

As with 276 above the chosen candidate agreed the deal after lengthy interviews and negotiation but out of the blue had an offer “he couldn’t refuse”. As my client said what would have happened if he had changed his mind because he found another candidate that he couldn’t resist! But within a week the position has been filled and with a better candidate – well done Peter.

We had a great response to this one and a number of candidates were short-listed by the VC. But not for the first time the deal stalled at the last minute – that seems to be the name of the game with this type of opportunity! If it comes back on stream I will advise everyone.

If you are good at business development and you fancy something different then this could be for you. But you will need to be based in the Midlands with a good network. This is proving to be quite a difficult one to fill but for the right person it is a great opportunity.
