With larger firms outsourcing many of their transactional services and start-up companies continuing to dominate the marketplace, more finance professionals than ever before are considering a move into the disruptive world but is there a way back into established life?
It appears companies are reluctant to hire finance professionals with start-up experience; despite their calibre, and it’s not just grade A professionals that are suffering as a result. These are the very same organisations that are struggling to attract the top tier of talent and this scenario could be easily resolved with mutually-beneficial results if organisations were open to the idea of career diversity and saw the huge value it can bring into their business.
Professionals who have worked in both the corporate and start-up world are often agile, dynamic, quick and a sucker for process. Structure, time-management and hierarchy has been ingrained in them from their years of corporate life while their days inside a start-up taught them to think quickly, adapt to new technologies and balance several hats.
Career diversity is a huge attribute to any finance professional and it’s time companies took it seriously.
We have just finished producing a white paper exploring the transition senior finance professionals make between established and disruptive companies. We speak to thought-leaders and industry experts who have made their own evolution between the two and offer advice to companies looking to attract the right talent while guiding professionals looking for their perfect company.
To receive a copy of our exclusive paper, please get in touch and in the meantime – join the conversation, is a transition between start-up and corporate culture an achievable one for finance professionals?
