Paul sent me one candidate, and I signed him up after one interview.
Paul’s passion for speed combined with quality due to his deep understanding of the CFO role has been the reason for me using FPS for my CFOs since then.”

Paul via his FPS network has been able to provide me within high quality candidates numerous level roles within LMT. Both ad interim and permanent. Paul is a great person to work with, understanding the customers needs and eager to find the perfect fit for the role and the candidate. Based on his board network and in depth knowledge of the market he was able to identify and attract high potential candidates for LMT.

“I have recently worked again with Paul in regard to recruitment for two of our key positions. Paul was very professional in understanding the job specifications, and very resourceful in finding quickly the “right fit” for both our needs and the applicant’s desires.
His previous CFO experience adds a big advantage. He also has a large network of interim specialists. We were able to get good interim professionals with very short notice. Thanks, Paul and Team!“

I worked with Paul for many years, first at Dell reporting to Paul as DELL DACH CFO. Then I moved to DYWIDAG-Systems International where Paul was Global CFO and also my boss. Paul is always passionate about hiring excellent people, setting very ambitious objectives and achieving impressive results very quickly with his top notch teams.

I have worked for Paul at three companies (Lear, Bally and DSI) and his support and trust in my capabilities have been instrumental for my career. I probably would not be where I am today without him and his vision for me from an early stage. He knows what it takes in the CFO world and how to bring it across – and I am certain this gives FPS a unique and successful edge in finance recruitment.
