VisionFR - Why we're different

I founded VisionFR in 2010 as a direct response to the challenges I had experienced whilst trying to recruit staff myself in my former roles in Senior Finance.

As a qualified Accountant, Finance and Commercial Director within Marketing/Communications for over 20 years I often found it difficult using recruitment agencies to source the "right people" at the "right time" with the "right skill set" so I used my extensive knowledge of the sector to start my own recruitment consultancy.

Ultimately I feel that my background in senior Finance has given me a unique insight into the issues faced by those on both sides of the recruitment process and it's that insight, alongside our strong company values that truly set us apart within our sector.

A few years ago I was joined in the business by Greg, who has also had similar leading finance positions in Advertising, PR and Healthcare Comms.

All VisionFR’s senior consultants are qualified accountants that have experience of working in finance within agencies.

So, in summary, first and foremost we are experienced Finance personnel who now specialise in placing Finance and HR talent into Creative, Marketing Communications, Media, & Tech businesses, not a firm of generalist recruiters.We are therefore highly specialised within our sector and have a very clear focus and understanding of our clients' needs.

These are all industries we know and in which we have worked ourselves, which gives us an exceptional and unparalleled understanding of the potential candidates that clients might like to interview and ensures we deliver on quality of candidates NOT quantity.

For us, it's all about working collaboratively, finding and interviewing the right candidates, screening them properly and taking the pain & time out of the recruitment process for our clients.

And I'm proud to say that our clients value our approach as well:

"If you want focused expertise in finding your FD or senior FC, look no further. VisionFR ensures that you have a choice of quality candidates – VisionFR does NOT do the ‘usual’ of just acting as a post box between CVs of hopeful’s and prospective employers. Be prepared to be impressed!” FD, Adjust Your Set

“If you’re looking for the right finance people for an agency, you don’t need to look further than VisionFR. Deb’s been in the business long enough to know everybody and what makes agencies work, and being such a good sort is really good at making sure people will fit together" Managing Director, AML

“I was introduced to Debs when I was looking for a temp. I found her knowledgeable and she placed an excellent candidate. I then went on to use her for two permanent vacancies. Although I used other agencies for those positions as well, Debs supplied me with extremely high calibre applicants, who not only matched the requirements of the role but took into consideration the Company’s work ethos as well as mine. I will definitely be using VisionFR again in the future” Finance Director, Wasserman

If you're experiencing challenges with recruiting Finance and HR personnel within the Marcomms sector, we are always open to a conversation. No pitches, no hard sell, just a friendly chat about the issues you face - and if we can help, we'll help!
