Case Study: a private equity-backed cyber security company achieves faster CFO hiring with Hire Velocity

Hire Velocity’s High-Touch Executive Search Process Ensures Strategic Fit for Private Equity-Backed Cyber Security CFO Role

Hire Velocity partnered with a leading cyber security industry company, which was private equity-backed, to find a new Chief Financial Officer. The client faced the difficult challenge of identifying a CFO who possessed not only impeccable credentials and cyber security industry experience but also the unique ability to thrive in a private equity environment and act as a true strategic partner to the CEO.

The solution involved Hire Velocity's high-touch executive search process, which included acting in an advisory role, utilizing behavioral assessments, and leveraging their extensive network for sourcing. This rigorous approach resulted in the client extending an offer to a highly qualified candidate within 89 days, achieving a 91% candidate submission to interview ratio and complete client satisfaction. The new CFO started shortly after, and the success of this engagement led the client to plan future searches with Hire Velocity.
