At Benchmark Search, we do more than fill positions—we connect visionary companies with top financial talent. Last quarter, we teamed up with a dynamic cloud solutions provider in North Texas to overhaul their financial leadership. They faced challenges in finding the right leaders who could drive growth and adapt to a tech-driven environment. Our deep understanding of corporate finance enabled us to swiftly place three key roles: a Financial Controller, an Accounting Manager, and a Director of Audit. These leaders were handpicked for their proven track records in fostering growth and enhancing strategic operations. Looking to elevate your hiring strategy and achieve ambitious goals? Let Benchmark Search guide you to success.

I often hear CEOs say they want to hire a COO. But I am usually perplexed by the ambiguity of the COO role, even in the CEO’s own mind. - What department will the COO oversee? - Who reports to them? - How do they fit with the broader company structure? The answers provided are usually hazy. Oversight of operations, while critical, is different from core business functions. In my view, the six foundational pillars of a business are sales, marketing, product, finance, HR, and customer service. Most often what the CEO truly needs is better described as a chief of staff. In this way, a good chief of staff frees you—the CEO—to focus on the responsibilities only you can fulfill: refining the vision, providing resources, building the culture, making mission-critical decisions, and delivering predictable performance.

Before you dive into the executive hiring process, it’s a good idea to take the time to determine exactly what your needs are. Searching for talent at the VP level is different from searching for someone in the C-Suite, for example. Additionally, every leader has a unique skill set and is equipped to solve different problems or lead different organizations. There’s a big difference between a CFO with an accounting background and one with a strategic operations background, for instance, so if you're hiring a Finance leader, you'd want to take that into account. When you work with Bolster, we'll help you determine your unique needs and find the right leader for your team.

As a Chief of Staff, how do you build a strong relationship with an Executive Assistant? A few days ago I shared that as a Chief of Staff, one of the MOST important relationships you have is with your Executive's Admin. But HOW do you build that relationship? ***Especially if your role is brand new, maybe some feathers were ruffled with the hiring announcement, or maybe you got off on the wrong foot. Do this: 🔰 Approach humbly & curiously. 🔰Let your good intentions be known. 🔰Actually learn what they do. 🔰Show genuine interest in their life. 🔰Get buy-in, even when you're in a rush. 🔰Amplify them. 🔰Repeat. Most often, Chiefs of Staff are driven, achieving, and outwardly confident folks with big ideas for how to do things better. This is GREAT. But Chiefs of Staff should act with the assumption that in certain situations this may be intimidating or anxiety-inducing. It's NORMAL for an Executive Assistant (or anyone) to be wary of a new role/person supporting their leader. And natural to have concern about what downstream effects that may have on day-to-day responsibilities. As a Chief of Staff, your intentions matter. Through a consistent, thoughtful approach to your role - and the awareness of your impact on those around you - you will gain trust. And over time, you will be viewed as an ally. ⭐ Please share in comments: how have you built trust with your CoS/EA? What tactics above would you like me to elaborate on?

🌟 From Blank Canvases to Superstars: The Power of Potential 🌟 In my experience, hiring individuals with no experience can be a game-changer. Over the years, I’ve turned several blank canvases into top performers by focusing on three key qualities: positive mindset, passion, and willingness to work hard. Few years ago, I took a chance on someone who have shown these traits. Today, they’ve been promoted to a senior level, excelling beyond expectations. This success came from their eagerness to take on extra work, learn, and grow without hesitation. Recently, I made a similar decision, and I encourage my fellow CFOs and financial professionals: don’t shy away from taking a risk on someone without experience. If they have the right qualities, the results can be phenomenal. I also provided opportunities for individuals to work voluntarily and gain experience. Many have leveraged this experience to secure jobs elsewhere, proving that dedication and passion can turn potential into performance. For those seeking to gain experience and secure a job, embrace opportunities to work hard and learn. Your dedication and passion can make a significant difference. From a CFO, who was also given a chance................. #Leadership #TalentDevelopment #Hiring #Finance #CareerGrowth
