Brief
E&J Capital Partners (“E&J”) are an established and respected specialist Property Fund Management business, which having secured significant investment, were looking to identify their first Finance Director to partner the CEO, drive growth and deliver a number of key strategic projects.
CMA met with the E&J leadership team, and after a comprehensive review meeting was appointed on an exclusive basis to deliver this business critical recruitment exercise.
Search Parameters
The key challenge was to identify a candidate with a combination of skills including: specialist knowledge of the fund management sector, experience of delivering complex strategic projects and a credible track record with city institutions.
CMA drafted both the job description and person specification in partnership with E&J. An in-depth knowledge of the local executive market, combined with our extensive network of professional contacts, ensured CMA were able to deliver a tailored short list.
“Due to the specialist commercial activities of E&J Capital Partners, my initial thought was that London would provide me with the breadth of experienced candidates I required, rather than being able to identify someone who lived locally to the office, a criterion that was important to me. My concerns were unfounded, and I am delighted with the appointment I have made. CMA kept me well informed at every stage of the process, presenting a very high standard of candidate. I would not hesitate in recommending CMA.”

Outcome
Following a detailed competency based first interview process, CMA presented five candidates with the requisite knowledge and experience. A three stage interview process then followed, meeting with the CEO and other significant stakeholders.
The E&J leadership team selected their preferred candidate at the conclusion of the three stage process and in conjunction with the CMA team, the CEO structured a suitable package, including a performance related bonus. By providing an in depth knowledge of the remuneration landscape within the region, CMA helped to ensure a smooth transition from initial instruction to offer and acceptance.
