If you are thinking about adding a part time finance director to your team, you might be struggling with how to decide whether a candidate is a good fit for your business. Here are five questions that might help you decide which candidate is best suited for you:
- Can they develop my existing finance team? – A strong candidate will be able to take responsibility for developing a team rather than taking everything on themselves, not least to be more cost effective.
- Have you mapped out the challenges facing the business and what outcomes you need? Asking a candidate how they would approach these opportunities will give you an insight into their attitude and experience.
- However impressive their skills, have you focused on the most relevant needs of the business?
- Will they help the management team develop and be able to make a positive contribution across the business?
- Will they help develop diversity of thought for quality decision making?
