I have worked with EquityFD previously so knew that they would be able to assist when I needed to source a Finance Director for a new deal we were looking to complete. I was very specific about the sector requirements and Joanna responded with a considered selection of relevant and interesting ideas. We moved to a hire quickly and he is proving an asset to the business.

I was placed into my CFO role by EquityFD and turned to their colleagues at EquityFC when I needed to hire a new Financial Controller to support me in my role.

They identified a comprehensive shortlist of candidates giving me a great choice from which I was able to complete a successful process. As my preferred candidate had  a notice period, I also used EquityInterim to good effect, hiring a temporary resource to cover the gap.

It is the first time we have partnered with EquityFD and I can readily recommend their service. Their flexible, rapid response approach enabled us to hire a financial resource on a basis that perfectly suited one of our portfolio businesses. The EquityFD team have a strong understanding of the particularities of PE-backed businesses, which proved invaluable in their putting forward high calibre candidates for the role. Ludgate will certainly keep them front of mind for additional opportunities going forward.

I approached EquityFD to partner me with a search for a new Finance Director for Bounty, a main brand within the private equity backed group of which I am CFO.

Robert Draper took time to meet and consider the brief carefully and ran a thorough process that was ideal both in its understanding of the candidate profile needed for the role as well as the timetable required for the recruitment.  Robert found some excellent candidates from which we had a good selection in the end and I would like to commend him on a job very well done from our perspective!

l have recently hired a new Finance Director and Financial Controller from EquityFD and EquityFC respectively. They provided an excellent service, displaying strong professional and commercial judgement thoughout both processes.

I would recommend them to other fast growth businesses looking to recruit.

I can highly recommend EquityFD, and in particular, Joanna. I was looking to recruit a key board member for my group and in working with Joanna, I found the whole process professional and enjoyable. Joanna worked closely with my team and I producing a strong group of candidates, all of whom closely fitted our brief, enabling a swift and highly satisfactory placement.

We recently invested in a market leading software business and instructed EquityFD to source a new Finance Director.

They delivered a first rate candidate who has a great balance of commercial, technical and sector expertise as well as the right team ethic enabling him to make an immediate contribution.

I was originally referred to Equity FD by a business contact of mine and was impressed with their focus and the relevance of their approach.

When one of our technology businesses needed a new CFO I introduced them to Equity FD and they were engaged for the assignment.

The company was going through a fundraise and had recently changed its leadership team, requiring a very complete but rapid recruitment process to be carried out. This was duly delivered by Robert at Equity FD who ran an excellent process resulting in a successful hire.

I worked with EquityFD to source a CFO for a new investment we were making. Given their understanding of the PE market, they were happy to work alongside us on a fully success basis and identified a great candidate ahead of the deal completing which was extremely helpful to the process.

The team at Equity FD provided an excellent level of personal service to us in recruiting a new CFO. We had specific requirements for a candidate with relevant private equity and sector experience and Joanna and Sarah were able to execute our assignment in a rapid timeframe thanks to their extensive knowledge of the market. Importantly, because of their approach to candidates and clients, they took time to understand the company and the individuals and put great store by the right personality and cultural fit. The whole process was efficient from start to finish and all at Equity FD were a pleasure to deal with. Thank you.
