March 2022

  1. Previous experience (2+ years) across end-to-end transaction cycle. 
  2. Solid foundation in Financial Modelling and Financial Analysis.
  3. Desire and ability to pick up new information, multi-task and learn on the go.

Challenges

The recruitment process for this Analyst position presented two key challenges:

1. A highly competitive market for talented individuals with existing experience in structured debt transactions, due to numerous job opportunities available at the time.

2. Slightly underwhelming basic salary compared to some competitors.

Both of which required Future_find to effectively promote the career opportunity and company culture to attract the necessary quality of candidates.

To overcome the challenges and stand out amidst the competition, Future_find implemented a targeted recruitment strategy, leveraging an extensive network as well as experience of similar process management. 

The search approach mainly pivoted on: 

a) Pro-active searching for candidates with a strong background in structured debt deals and the necessary modelling skills. Dedicated searching over applicant reviews.

b) Emphasising the unique career growth prospects and the compelling company culture which differentiated our client from other offerings in the market.

c) Increasing candidate engagement and process structure / professionalism beyond other rivals to maximise applicant buy-in for our process. 

Outcome

Since joining, the recruited Analyst has proven to be a valuable asset to the team. They have been actively involved across the end-to-end deal process, contributing to the successful execution of transactions.

Furthermore, due to their exceptional performance and dedication, the Analyst is now in line for a promotion to an Associate level.
