Interview for the job, not the CV.
Tell us the role you are hiring and what the hire is for. We will give you the areas to weight, the questions that produce evidence, what good and bad answers sound like, and a scorecard your whole panel can use.
Built for employers hiring finance leaders. Looking for your next role? Send us your CV.
Where this comes from
The questions are the ones we use and recommend in the searches we run, and the ones we have written about: the question that separates operators from reporters, the tightest cash week, the audit partner, the time they argued against the numbers. The weighting follows a simple rule: a business preparing for a deal weights capital and controls, a business that is scaling weights building the team, and every hire is scored on outcomes rather than impressions.
Most senior finance hires that go wrong were lost before the interviews started, because nobody agreed what good looks like. Settle the weighting first and the rest of the process gets easier.
