Richard Speight

I manage the Accounting & Finance Team in Bristol, and I recruit for senior finance roles across the South West UK.

Specialist Area

I specialise in recruiting qualified and senior level finance professionals into predominantly permanent positions, and I work with a broad range of clients across the whole of the South West.

My Advice

Ensure you prepare properly for each stage of the recruitment process, as you only get one opportunity to make a first impression. Think about your social media footprint, and the image that you are projecting online? Invest time in putting your CV together so that it sells you effectively and gets you that foot in the door. Then take time to prepare for your interview by researching the company and thinking of answers to potential competency questions. We can help you with all of these areas and we are always looking to develop new relationships with candidates and clients, so please feel free to call, e-mail or contact me via LinkedIn if you are looking to engage with a consultative recruiter?

My Background

As the Manager for our Accountancy & Finance team, I specialise in recruiting predominantly senior finance professionals across the South West within all areas of Commerce & Industry, from SME’s and entrepreneurial start-ups, to medium sized businesses and FTSE 100 organisations. 

I started recruiting in this area in 2006, and I offer an ethical approach treating clients and candidates with the same level of professionalism and integrity, whilst maintaining an in-depth understanding of the market and ensuring a tailored approach to each recruitment process.
