Specialist search for Chief Financial Officers, VPs of Finance, and senior finance leadership across Europe and Ukraine.
The best CFOs are employed, not job-hunting. We find them through our personal network — confidentially, with a 90-day guarantee.
Quick Answer
A CFO recruitment agency (also called CFO executive search, a CFO headhunter, or a CFO search firm) finds Chief Financial Officers and senior finance leaders through confidential, network-driven search rather than job postings. MindHunt runs retained CFO searches in 6–10 weeks, charging a project fee at kickoff plus a 15–20% success fee on first-year salary, backed by a 90-day free replacement guarantee. We source across Ukraine, Poland, Germany, and the wider EU/US market.
Standard recruitment doesn't work for CFOs. Here's why companies struggle — and why a specialist firm changes the outcome.
The best finance leaders are employed, not browsing job boards. Finding them requires deep network access and confidential outreach.
A great CFO must combine technical financial mastery with board-level strategic judgment. Assessing both takes specialist knowledge most generalist recruiters lack.
Senior CFOs with real fundraising, scaling, and cross-border experience are rare. You need access to a curated network, not a database of CVs.
A CFO search going public can unsettle investors, alert competitors, and spook candidates. Discretion is non-negotiable — especially when replacing an existing CFO.
We don't just match CVs. Every CFO candidate goes through structured financial and strategic assessment before they reach your desk.
If your new CFO leaves within 90 days for any reason, we start over at no cost.
From kickoff to 3–5 fully vetted candidates ready for you to interview.
We place CFOs for European and US companies, sourcing across Ukraine, Poland, Germany, and beyond.
