Working with FPS – especially Ana and Paul – was outstanding in every respect. For several finance-related search assignments, FPS presented us with highly qualified candidates with impressive track records in a very short time, always taking our individual requirements into account. The combination of speed, deep market understanding – particularly in the private equity environment – and a clear focus on our specific needs was especially impressive and convincing to me as Group CFO. Paul, Ana, and the FPS team work with great professionalism, a solution-oriented mindset, and a pleasant personal touch – exactly the right mix to successfully fill demanding positions in the finance sector. Highly recommended!

Joel Euler, Group CFO Corius

“I called Paul and said I needed a CFO who could start “on Monday” and preferably do interim – to – perm.
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.”

Joachim Reichelt, Eurofins, Group Senior Vice President / Vorstand

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!“
