Blooming Hill

Accessible and involved, with a strong ability to empathize with your wishes and ambitions

Executive Search for Financial Professionals

We identify the right professionals for your organization. Our personal approach, speed, and thoroughness have earned us an excellent reputation in finding, selecting, and placing financial professionals.

We primarily work with organizations owned by private equity firms, (publicly listed) multinational corporations, as well as large SMEs and family-owned businesses. The candidates we place hold completed bachelor’s and/or master’s degrees, often supplemented with post-graduate qualifications such as CPA, CMA, CIMA, or MBA.

Approach

In an initial personal meeting, we will thoroughly discuss the situation and developments within your organization and review the desired candidate profile. Our expertise enables us to provide effective advice on the position, the type of candidate, and the appropriate compensation. We will also advise you on the most effective recruitment strategy.

Subsequently, we will approach, engage, and interview potential candidates. Based on a profile sketch and curriculum vitae, we will present the most suitable candidates to you. Upon request we will arrange a personal meeting between the candidate and you.

Naturally, we will support you throughout the entire process, from interviews to reference checks and assessment checks. We will keep you continuously informed about the progress of the procedure until the candidate joins your organization. After three months an evaluation will take place.

“Not long ago, my client had a vacancy for a CFO. I was tipped off about Blooming Hill through my own network. A quick vendor selection led to the choice of Blooming Hill. Sofie and Barbara kept us well informed and responded quickly. We had a few internal stakeholders to manage and they handled that well. There were soon good quality candidates. This allowed us to fill the CFO vacancy in record time with an excellent candidate.”

“Like many PE-owned companies, we were in the difficult situation that we quickly needed an experienced CFO who could manage both the daily hands-on work and take the lead towards PE funds and international banks. Sofie and Barbara from Blooming Hill know exactly how to handle this challenge and helped us pragmatically from the first profile sketch to the final candidate in a short time. They are experienced, communicate clearly and continuously think proactively as a sparring partner.”
