The FD recruitment market in 2019

The year started in a robust fashion but as time has progressed there has been a growing uncertainty related to Brexit, this has meant that senior finance roles are more slow to come forward and a little hard to close for candidates.

Nevertheless there is a good supply of new enquiries, we are seeing strong growth in the Portfolio FD niche which continues to develop, our challenge in this area is finding enough candidates willing to work flexible and enough employers in the right locations, often we are having to cover roles with out of area candidates which is not ideal all around.

As this niche becomes more mainstream we see that changing and becoming more like any other FD role.
