What Makes Us Different
Don’t Settle for Headhunters and Unqualified Candidates
By being structured to never represent job candidate interests and always and only be objective and skilled resume screeners, interviewers and reference checkers, the conflicts of interest associated with the agency/search firm models disappear and client satisfaction remains exceptionally high.
Who we are
The vision that led to the 2002 launch of Chief Financial Interviewer, Inc. was to offer hiring consulting services specializing in financial roles. We are not commission-based, so our interests and decisions are sincerely in the best interest of our customers.
WHO WE’VE WORKED WITH
testimonials
“I would highly recommend this process to anyone out there looking for executive talent… In my search, I ended up interacting with approximately 10 agencies – what set your organization apart was the attention to detail, the focus to task, the commitment to providing value to the hiring client and the long-term professional relationship developed with the candidates… The job of screening, interviewing and reference checking was put in the hands of someone who had the professional experience to do so – the client didn’t have to deal with all the “weeding” process to get to the “good stuff.”
Domenic L., CPA, CGA
“When I think about your recruitment process…it was focused. What made it unique was the profiling that ensures a high chance of ‘fit’ with the rest of the team players, based on some objective criteria rather than ‘intuition’ or ‘gut feel.’”
Allan P., MBA, CPA, CMA, CIMA
“I truly appreciate the time you have committed for me and I must say that it has been a much more pleasant experience than dealing with the traditional recruiters.”
Julie B., CPA, CMA
