CIPFA Recruitment Services

I have worked with CIPFA Placements for over two decades and find them to be one of the few providers that can provide me with consistently high quality interim staff.  Their strength and depth of public sector finance professionals places them head and shoulders above other providers in that market!

My business relationship with CIPFA Placements spans over ten years and their name is synonymous with the best in local government finance skills. Their expansion into additional disciplines, as CIPFA Recruitment Services, will enable a new audience of public sector managers to benefit from their exceptional knowledge, outstanding service and professional integrity.

Excellent service - much appreciated given short notice.

Prompt, efficient and courteous

An excellent service, I can always rely on high quality candidates that are appropriate to the role advertised.

Your associate was certainly the right choice for this project. His approach was excellent throughout; he engaged very well with the staff group and got the best out of them.

From the outset and throughout each of the appointments, I felt that your engagement was discreet, professional, informative and encouraging leading to successful outcomes. I would have no hesitation in recommending CIPFA Placements.

In these times of increasing pressure on public finances, the necessity of being able to find people with the right expertise to support local authorities in meeting the challenges of sustaining sound financial management is becoming increasingly paramount. CIPFA Placements has always been first choice because of their track record of understanding the nature of the business and the requirements of each role and matching these to their pool of quality candidates to find the right person every time. And having found and placed the right candidate, they follow up by keeping in touch with both the client and placement to ensure that both parties needs are being met and a successful outcome achieved.

Thank you for your efficient, professional and courteous service.

Analysing the situation, facing the issues, applying professional expertise, providing a solution, then implementing. The result makes a difference, sometimes substantial.
Recognise the cycle? It could apply to any size task, any level of complexity for any organisation. In my experience, delivering the service as an interim manager will help you appreciate the following aspects, often in sharp contrast to your career to date:

• Getting the job done. This can’t be compromised.
• The benefit of going the ‘extra mile’. This is what the client really notices.
• The importance of personal inconvenience and how this diminishes in favour of task delivery. Trains and planes become a natural extension to your working week.
• Regular and close feedback on your own performance.

The career benefits are enormous and getting the right assignment plays a vital part. CIPFA Placements can take a bow for understanding both the market and individual interim needs. In my view, no other company comes close.

The market for CIPFA professional staff is a difficult one, and ensuring we employ interim staff with the right skills is vital. Therefore, we have used CIPFA Placements for many years. They are always helpful and have found us many good staff to help meet our needs. In my experience they are the market leader.

CIPFA Placements can be absolutely relied upon to provide an efficient and professional service with a source of highly qualified interims who always deliver. Their expansion into providing permanent recruitment and HR professionals, as CIPFA Recruitment Services, is a very welcome development that can only enhance their reputation further. I wish them every success.
