So: How to find a good Finance Operation Manager?

The only solution is direct hunting. Pure Head Hunting: we call the target company under false pretences, we pass on the figure in question and only when we have the contact we are interested in on the phone do we reveal the real reason for our call.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that Head Hunting is a practice used only to look for Managers or Executives! As an example, in Ricercamy we have gained solid experience also in the hunt for profiles that work in production and on machinery. That is, from the person in charge of the melting furnace, to the person in charge of the assembly line, up to figures of greater responsibility.

These are very delicate operations especially because you have to “take” from an office a man who is working there! So these calls must be handled with competence, discretion and professionalism, so it is necessary to rely on those who, like Ricercamy, does it for a living! Relying on us you can have several advantages. Among the many: maintain anonymity with respect to the needs of your brand, have information retrieved here and now and not from old databases, which do not update the data at the real time, and especially use your time for other emergencies as the Head Hunting is an extremely time consuming activity.
