What Is the Market Like for Interim Treasury Professionals?

Foreign. Hello, I'm Mike Richards and today I'm bringing to life the latest article I did about interim Treasury. We get asked, do you recruit interim treasury positions professionals? Yes, we do. Obviously, a lot more of what we do is permanent recruitment on a global basis, but we've recruited interim trader professionals across the us, the uk, Europe, the lot, and further afield, actually, down into Asia as well. In the. But why don't we often have that many interim treasury positions? I think it's because it's not the biggest part of most Treasury Departments. In a Treasury team, if you like, you might only have a small treasury team, so if there is an interim need, it can come and go quite quickly. Some of our clients use for that interim period might use consultancies, maybe one of the big accounting, there's big four or five, whatever, or independent consultants. But when clients do come to us, we have got a bank of people that are ready and available. But then I get candidates on the other side of the fence, if you like, saying to me, mike, I'm going to leave my permanent job, I'm going to become an interim, I'm going to do some really interesting project work, enhance my career. I say to them, are you mad? And they're like, what? I said, well, I say to them, when you asked an interim that came into your team, did you give them all the sexy, exciting stuff to do? And they're like, no, we gave the interesting work to the permanent staff members. Sometimes there are some good projects that come about, or there might be a maternity leave or something like that, but often the work given to an interim is the work that the permanent team doesn't want to actually do or embrace. If you like, you know, they might be assessing controls, creating policies, manuals, career enhancing. Yes, interesting. Not so much. If you're in the later years of your career and want to do some interesting project work, feel free, give us a call. It could be a lifestyle choice and everything else we do get those assignments. We also interface and speak to a number of consultancies ourselves where they need interim resources and they don't have enough time to keep a panel or a bank of interim treasurers and we can access those guys. We can help. But please don't think it's all shiny and roses out there. It's interesting work or it can be, but it can be tough as well and there are gaps in the employment there. So if you want to do it and want some advice, just give us a call. I hope that helps with the article and everything else. Thanks for your time. Cheers.
