We instructed EquityFD to source a new Finance Director for a distribution business we are invested in.
We had a particular set of requirements and Joanna Adolph delivered against these in a focused and professional manner enabling the business to hire a great new asset.

I worked with EquityFD to source a Finance Director for the care business I own and run.They worked hard to deliver a good selection of candidates for what was a very particular brief and I am pleased to say that we have hired a broadly skilled and commercially astute FD who will be a real asset to me and the growing business.

 

I was referred to EquityFD by one of our advisers as I needed to supplement my senior team with some new finance hires.

Robert was very engaged with my requirements from the start, running a smooth, informed and attentive process resulting in two key appointments in swift order.

He really understood the nature of a rapidly expanding business and was able to match my requirements for candidates with an appetite for high growth and an ability to function effectively in such a dynamic environment.

I was referred to EquityFD by our  investors when I was in the market for a new CFO.

Joanna got straight to it and I have hired a really terrific addition to my senior team.

We came across Equity FD by chance and we were very impressed with their service. Not only did they help us in appointing the right candidate for a role in a very short time – a role that we had been struggling to fill for a while - but they were very flexible in negotiating their rate and contract terms with us. As a small charity, we do not often use recruitment agencies, but EquityInterim were willing to go the extra mile to help us and we would highly recommend them.

 

I was introduced to EquityFD by my chairman as I needed to hire in a really key hire, a new FD, to act as my business partner, and help me to grow my business.

Joanna at EquityFD ran a fabulous process. She really took the time to understand not just the technical brief, but the cultural fit with both me and the organisation and this has resulted in a great hire who I have no doubt will prove a real asset

We were recommended to Equity FD through their network in the private equity world and other high growth business leaders who had worked with them.

I found that they had great access to a pool of high calibre, experienced FDs whose experience was very relevant to what Make it Cheaper needs to continue on its purpose to make switching and saving easy – saving millions for thousands of small businesses and to deliver our plan.

Three things stood out for me:

• The candidates were of high quality and met the brief so the time we invested meeting them wasn’t a waste.
• The team at Equity FD were committed to the project succeeding, they stuck with it and put in additional effort when, as it inevitably does, things don’t quite go to plan.
• The team were prepared to invest time to understand the business and take a thorough brief, challenging us where needed, to help us be clear on what we needed, whilst they gained a good understanding of the business and people at Make it Cheaper.

I have since recommended them to others and our new FD has used them to hire.

I needed to source a Finance Director ahead of a new deal we were completing.

Robert at EquityFD ran a thorough process for the business and enabled them to secure the right candidate in good time.

It is great to be able to work in this way before a deal has completed and I would recommend EquityFD to other investors in similar situations.

I have known EquityFD for some time and they have not disappointed. Robert worked with Volpi and one of our investee companies, a leading tech enabled healthcare services business, to recruit a CFO.  It has proved to be a very successful hire!

We turned to Equity FD to help us find someone to come in and help us for a specific project for a few months. They found two great candidates very quickly and took the time to really understand what we were looking for, both in terms of skills and personality.
