    I know a lot of the CFOs I work with play a critical role in resource allocation and operating efficiency, as well as investment for growth in the business - they are key in preserving profit margins and enabling growth. It’s great to see a good news story from marketing services and Publicis are providing plenty of them right now in terms of both profit margin and organic growth. The latest results included an announcement that there’s a record bonus pot of 540m Euros to be shared amongst their 102,000 staff. As a recruiter,  I am happy to see that they also made 3700 net hires (+1800 through acquisition) - and they expect to keep hiring!  I am also interested to see their effective strategy to reduce freelancers with more effective resource sharing across the businesses. The Publicis success is a great reminder that successful leadership during tough times is a careful balancing act between controlling costs while ensuring you preserve your biggest asset as much as possible - which is your talent. And I am proud to have played a small part in that in supporting them to hire the UK CFO last year!

    Has the rapid advent of AI-powered technology changed the conversations CFOs in marketing services are having with their boards regarding investing in emerging tech? WPP are announcing plans today to invest a further £250m on AI-focused tech (Financial Times), this follows a similar announcement by Publicis last week pledging investment of 300m Euros over the next 3 years. It’s clear the AI arms race is heating up quickly across the big groups but where does that leave the smaller agencies? Last year was dominated by debates around the potential risks and huge advantages of AI across marketing services, but much of it was at best conjecture. When we discussed AI at our Talentarc and TalentEdge leadership events, there was cautious excitement but also a great deal of “we’re not sure” and “we’ll have to wait and see”. Undoubtedly as their competitors start upping the ante, many CEOs will want to start increasing investment in AI as well to stay competitive ( and for some small agencies it may be a great way to punch above their weight) – but how do finance leaders manage the risk, particularly in these challenging times ?  #ai #marketingagency #cfoinsights #cfo #marcomms

    TalentEdge and Talentarc are focusing particularly strongly on ESG and sustainability this year, in part because we are starting our own journey towards becoming a certified B Corp, and also because issues related to ESG are rapidly moving up the priority list for much of our network, if it isn’t a priority already. We are already seeing clients hiring to meet the reporting needs in this area, but according to most experts, Finance’s involvement doesn’t stop there.   It’s clear that CFOs are key players in the process of businesses assessing the risks and sizing up the opportunities that a strong ESG agenda and a greater push towards “profit with purpose” present. They don’t just oversee the data and manage the reporting in this area – in many cases they’re the ones pushing to make it part of the organisation’s value proposition.   At our next C-Suite Leadership event on March 12th we will be exploring how CFOs can best manage the risks and opportunities of greater sustainability, ESG and becoming a B Corp. If you’re interested in being part of the panel of experts at the event or would like to attend please do let me know. #esgreporting #bcorp #bcorps #cfos #cfoinsights

    It's been a fantastic start to the year at TalentEdge - the positive news regarding the economic outlook in various reports published since the new year is certainly reflected in the discussions we are having with finance leaders and we've seen a huge increase in demand for finance talent from our clients as businesses prepare for growth. TalentEdge also has exciting growth plans for the year ahead! I'm very interested in hearing from experienced consultants/managers with an entrepreneurial mindset who want the autonomy to establish a new team or office while having the support and backing of an established brand and back-office/marketing/tech functions to really fast-track growth. Whether you're London-based and looking to head up a new team; interested in establishing a regional office or even looking further afield than the UK, I'd be keen to hear your ideas. Our newly opened office headed up by Neil Whitaker and Abbie Smith, which hires for senior and executive level finance across Manchester and north-west region, is already expanding very quickly and we have the resources to replicate their success elsewhere so get in touch! #recruiterjobs #recruitmentagency #financerecruitment #startupfunding #startupadvice #wearehiringnow

    Thank you so much to our amazing team here at TalentEdge and to the hundreds of clients and candidates we worked with in 2023. It’s been a tough year, but I’ve been really inspired by the resilience and ingenuity of the incredible finance leaders we work with, as they sought to overcome the challenges their organisation's faced over the last 12 months. Our consultants have worked so hard to deliver a fantastic service to the companies they've worked with and all the people they helped to take the next step in their career - and their commitment has really paid off. We’ve gained so many new clients this year as well as continuing to support businesses we’ve had the privilege of working with for many years.   I hope everyone has a lovely time over the festive period and I’m looking forward to catching up with you all in the new year – here’s to a fantastic 2024!! #financerecruitment #accountancyjobs #financejobs

They all generously shared their thoughts and experiences as well as many actionable insights with our audiences of C-suite and financial leaders. We’ve had lots of hugely positive feedback from those that came along to hear them discuss many of the key issues that concerned our clients in 2023.   We have some really exciting events lined up for 2024, so if you would like to be kept updated on future events please do sign up using the link below and we will be in touch in the new year.   https://lnkd.in/ek9qQ2nW #csuiteconversations #leadershipinsights #leadershipevent #executivesearch #cfoinsights #ceoinsights #cfos #ceoleadership

    Mark Cuddigan, former CEO of Ella's Kitchen at our recent C-Suite leadership event, offering a compelling argument for how leaders of mission-led, people first businesses can create a high performance culture and consistently deliver for shareholders. During his 10 years at Ella's Kitchen, Mark oversaw a period of huge growth and established the brand as no. 1 in its sector - all the while staying true to his belief that business can be a force for good; leading campaigns that focused on improving the lives of future generations; and achieving B Corp status. Being mission/purpose led can be an incredibly effective route to success, you're likely to attract and retain the best talent in the market and be able to keep them very motivated even when times get tough. At TalentEdge and Talentarc we work with many truly innovative and successful businesses across Tech, Media & Consumer who have a strong sense of mission/purpose and put their people first, while also delivering growth.

    Ruth Kieran, CEO of award winning PR agency Cirkle, is passionate about people-centred leadership that's rooted in having a transparent and symbiotic relationship with the workforce. In tough times that means trusting and respecting your team enough to bring them on the journey with you; being honest about the realities of where the business is and talking through the difficult decisions that might need to be made. At our recent C-Suite leadership event - Effective Leadership in Disrupted Times - she talked about how that translates into action. Leaders like Ruth are part of a shift away from a hierarchical leadership paradigm that can often seem siloed and defensive to one which is likely to have a far more positive impact on team morale when things get difficult. At TalentEdge and Talentarc we've also seen how people-centric businesses with a progressive approach to leadership were those that were ultimately more likely to retain their talent - even those that couldn't quite match market rates for remuneration during the last few years.
