The market for finance professionals has changed noticeably in recent months. In an economy short on confidence, one would expect limited demand for finance professionals. Political uncertainty, the combination of slowing growth, rising inflation, and underwhelming economic forecasts, have all contributed to an environment of uncertainty. Despite this, the real challenge has not been in business demand but in the supply of candidates who can fulfil client requirements. Clients have opted for a blended model of both interim (gap management) and executive search to find long term solutions to key hires within their finance leadership team.
