When you look up the definition of greedy in the dictionary, there's a picture of this man

Aaack! That's terrifying.

Okay, I've been meaning to write this post for eons but it seems especially important now given all the crap that's going down at HYBE. We need to talk about BSH and his obscene wealth.

This April, Forbes published the list of South Korea's 50 richest people. Coming in at number 17 was the hitman himself, Bang Si-Hyuk, estimated to be worth 2.1 BILLION US DOLLARS. I believe that figure has likely gone down a bit thanks to HYBE's falling stock price, but that's still an absolutely crazy number.

Now let's talk about Scooter Braun. According to Wikipedia, he is estimated to be worth approximately $1 billion, however, most other outlets list him at being worth about $500 million. Either way, he's not buying generic cereal when he goes grocery shopping.

Bang PD paid approximately $1 billion dollars to Scooter when he acquired Ithaca Holdings in April, 2021. Scooter was given over $100 million in HYBE stock as well as an undisclosed cash payment.

Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande were each given $12 million worth of stock, while J Balvin received $4.8 million and Demi Lovato received $1.2 million. I would describe these "gifts" as glorified bribes to prevent each of them from bolting the minute the buyout was announced.

Now compare that to what the members of BTS received. For all their blood, sweat, and tears, starvation diets, no time off, worked to exhaustion, they each received 68,385 shares prior to the IPO, which were initially valued at $8 million per person. It's important to note Bang Si-Hyuk maintained their voting rights and votes on their behalf. So, they have shares, but no voting rights, i.e. no say in the direction of the company at the board of directors level.

It's worth noting that JB, AG, JB, and DL did absolutely nothing to earn those shares. They contributed nothing to the success of Big Hit and the eventual creation of HYBE Corporation. It's also worth noting that all four of them are no longer Scooter's clients.

HYBE America was the worst performing subsidiary under HYBE Corp in 2023, posting a loss of about $100 million (I'll dig up the financials for a future post). I think we all know where that went, but we can talk about that later. However poorly SB's business line performed, he will still continue to make profits off of his legacy clients thanks to sunset clauses in their original contracts. You can read about that here:

Scooter Braun sits on HYBE's Board of Directors. He is also 5th largest shareholder, with 0.8698% ownership. The members of BTS each have 0.1642% ownership (assuming they haven't sold their initial shares). I believe they will receive more ownership and voting rights when their new contract goes into effect, though. Meanwhile...

Bang Si-Hyuk is the Chairman of HYBE Corporation and the majority shareholder, with 31.57% ownership. He owns the place. When you add up all seven members' shares together, they still own less than 2% of the total shares of the company.

So please, for the love of GOD, understand that the members of BTS are not in charge. They are just employees. And frankly, they aren't well compensated when you compare them to other artists in the industry. Most sources say the members are each worth somewhere between $25 million to $40 million. Let's go with the low end of $25 million since that's the number I see most often. If Bang PD is worth $2.1 billion, that means each member is worth less than 1.2% of what Bang is worth.

ONE POINT TWO PERCENT!!!!

And you think Min Hee Jin is greedy???

Okay, back to the boys. Let's take a look at Simon Cowell's net worth. You know that guy? The one who formed One Direction and is a music and TV producer and personality? Do you want to guess how much he's worth? Well, its' not $2.1 billion. He's estimated to be worth a measly $600 million. And what about the former One Direction members themselves? (FYI all of these are estimates based upon online media sources).

Harry Styles - $120 million

Zayn Malik - $75 million

Niall Horan - $70 million

Louis Tomlinson - $70 million

Liam Payne - $70 million.

So, let's just pretend they each have $70 million. That means each member of One Direction is worth just under 12% of what Simon Cowell is worth.

One last thing. This is Bang PD's house in Bel Air, California. He bought it from Trevor Noah for $26 million. Mind you, that's potentially more than what the members of BTS are each worth. Just for one house in a country the man doesn't even live in.

Benevolent father figure my ass. But BTS are shareowners!!

Disclaimer: these numbers are all estimated based upon information available on the world wide web.

P.S. the 2024 Q1 earnings call is in a few hours. Prepare yourself for the media play.

Quantum computers could beat classical ones at answering practical questions within two years, a new experiment from IBM computers shows. The demonstration hints that true quantum supremacy, in which quantum computers overtake classical digital ones, could be here surprisingly soon. "These machines are coming," Sabrina Maniscalco, CEO of Helsinki-based quantum-computing startup Algorithmiq, told Nature News. In the new study, described Wednesday (June 14) in the journal Nature, scientists used IBM's quantum computer, known as Eagle, to simulate the magnetic properties of a real material faster than a classical computer could. It achieved this feat because it used a special error-mitigating process that compensated for noise, a fundamental weakness of quantum computers.

Warning signs of the instability of the global financial system abounded in the months leading up to the 2008 Lehman Brothers crash. Among these early signs were the astounding revelations about UBS, the world’s largest private bank, by Stephanie Gibaud, who was employee at the bank’s French division. Gibaud refused instructions given to her and other employees to delete all their company files. In doing so, she helped reveal a vast web of corruption and fraud linking UBS to a shadowy tax evasion scheme. More than 15 years later, Gibaud has endured harassment, professional ostracization, lawsuits, and threats. She joins The Chris Hedges Report to speak on her ordeal and the extent of corruption in the international banking system.

Chris Hedges: Stephanie Gibaud in June, 2008, was ordered by one of her managers at the UBS Bank in Paris, to destroy all her computer files that related to customers with offshore accounts in Switzerland. The order came in the wake of the 2007 American banker, Bradley Birkenfeld’s disclosure of client information to the US Department of Justice, which suggested that UBS was facilitating massive tax evasion schemes for its American clients, which ultimately led to a penalty of $780 million. Swiss banks have long been havens for those seeking to avoid taxes. In 2014, for example, Credit Suisse, which would also plead guilty to sheltering money for its clients so they could avoid paying taxes, had to pay $2.6 billion in penalties.

Gibaud, however, was the only bank employee at UBS who refused to delete her files. She protested to UBS management and French regulators. Her documents would eventually help to identify 38,000 offshore bank accounts amounting to $12 billion. UBS responded by trying to fire her as part of a mass redundancy of 100 employees during the 2008 financial crisis. The French Ministry of Work intervened, but her life at UBS became excruciating. She suffered harassment and discrimination along with social and professional isolation. She endured constant anxiety and depression. UBS fired her finally in 2012. She was sued for defamation by the bank after writing her book, The Woman Who Knew Too Much, part of a series of lawsuits that plague her to this day.

She requested compensation totaling 3.5 million euros and the judge gave her 4,500 euros, which barely covered her legal fees. UBS was eventually forced to pay a record fine in 2019 of $4.9 billion, but Gibaud found herself financially ruined and blacklisted from the financial sector where she had spent her career. The French legal system does not compensate whistleblowers, unlike the US. The Commodities Future Trading Commission, for example, recently awarded an anonymous whistleblower around $200 million for providing information about Deutsche Bank’s manipulation of the LIBOR benchmark. Birkenfeld, who exposed UBS’s offshore accounts for American clients, was handed a check from the US Treasury for $104 million, minus taxes. Gibaud is currently battling in the French courts to become the first legally recognized whistleblower, which could pave the way for greater protection and compensation.

Flufftober Day 10: Playing With Hair - James Norrington/OC [2,510 words]

* this prompt comes from an alternative list I found, and isn't for one of the official Flufftober prompts.

This one is disgustingly sweet. I don't even know what else to say.

My Flufftober '23 masterpost can be found here, and my behemoth of a main fic about these two is here 💜✨

Their first Christmas together in their new home was quiet, understated, and just the two of them. Recalling their wedding ‘feast’ of bread and cheese, in nightclothes on the floor before the hearth, as well as their ‘courting’ around campfires on Tortuga’s beaches, just the two of them removed from the din of the settlement. Theo wondered fondly if this wasn’t their tradition. There had been offers from well-meaning neighbours, of course, all of whom seemed to find it absolutely devastating that they wouldn’t be spending Christmas day surrounded by countless family members – with James’ parents being deceased, and Theo’s family (the blood kind and the found kind both) being back in Ireland, but they’d politely – but firmly – turned them down.

One had come from a couple who compensated for their dislike of one another by having endless droves of children. That fact didn’t cover the dislike much, because they felt the need to make everybody around them painfully aware of it thanks to their constant ‘jokes’ at the expense of one another. The other, an older couple, did like one another…but nobody else. The wife made constant comments at Theo’s expense – of how she was too skinny, how a lack of womanly curves would fail to keep her husband’s attention overly long, quickly followed by warnings that she shouldn’t leap too far in the other direction, either, the moment she saw her take a bite of, well, anything. James reported that the husband was much the same with him, fond of endless grumblings of how men today hardly knew a thing – insisting that success was found thanks to luck, by most these days, rather than shrewdness.

They were all good enough people, at heart, but accepting their invitations would make their first Christmas here – their first proper Christmas together, one that would set the benchmark for the dozens upon dozens of others that would hopefully follow here in due course – a matter of grinning and bearing it, rather than enjoyment. They’d be much happier simply together, without worrying about eyes or opinions or anything beyond the four walls around them, and only them.

If they didn’t look out, they were going to become right little unsociable recluses. But, for now, it was bliss.

Having not yet hired a cook, and not being in much of a rush to do so, their Christmas dinner was an act of improvisation. They’d gone ice fishing first thing in the morning, and roasted their spoils along with generous helpings of vegetables above a fire they built in the great massive hearth that their stony kitchen boasted. Dessert was trickier, but Theo remembered most of what went into making her nan’s famous no-bake cheesecake, had cobbled it together the night before, and left it buried (and tightly sealed) under heaps of snow.

The result ended up being surprisingly good. Once it thawed out a bit.

Rather than standing on ceremony, she and her husband ended up absconding to the sitting room, curled together on their new sofa under heaps of blankets, the entire cake on Theo’s lap, and Theo in James’ lap, eating spoonfuls of the edges as each new section became a bit less solid. As they did, they chatted about this and that between moments in which they turned their attention to the house around them as though checking that it was still there, and still real.

The most important bits had been done. The pressing repairs, and the walls and roofing of the extensions they’d seen fit to add all now in place. There were no longer any leaks, nor structurally unsound patches of floor, and minimal drafts. It was a bit empty, but time would take care of that, and neither of them were in a rush. What was the point, when they’d already reached the destination they’d been racing towards ever since falling for one another?

What remained of the cake was eventually set aside on the coffee table - perhaps their most decorative piece of furniture so far, and something Theo had to design and commission herself from a very confused carpenter, because apparently they weren’t a thing just yet – and they soon lay reclined on the sofa, James on his back and Theo all but atop him.

“May I?” he asked quietly, his fingers finding the ribbon keeping her hair bound back in a plait behind her.

She hummed her assent, sighing contentedly as he undid the ribbon and then began coming out her hair with his fingers until it fanned around her and she looked like some very decadent, very opium-ed up woman from a painting. Although, given that none of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood had been born yet, she was a bit early for that trend.

“Return the favour?” she asked once he was satisfied, looking at her with a level of admiration that never failed to make her cheeks match her hair.

James smiled a little, turning his head so she could take the tie from his own hair, although she struggled with the angle as she combed it down and freed it from its confines with her fingers.

“This reminds me of Tortuga,” he murmured as she did so.

“Who would’ve ever thought you’d speak of Tortuga fondly?”

“I speak of you fondly, in spite of the setting in which the memories take place,” his hand smoothed up and down her back as he regarded her, more bashful than he probably liked to betray at her open admiration of him, dark hair down about his shoulders. “You are a strange woman.”

“You’re not the first to say that.”

“You prefer me bearded, hair unkempt, clothes in disarray,” she wasn’t the first to think that, either. “I’m beginning to sense the approach of a day where you ban clothing outright-”

“Not a bad idea. Once the weather heats up a bit.”

“-and expect us to live in the wilderness, positively feral.”

“That was what I was really doing in Port Royal’s jungles – priming you for the idea, so that when this day came you’d be more inclined to go with it.”

“My wife is a schemer, you’re telling me?”

“No, I’m just a dog chasing cars.”

“What?”

“Never mind.”

Her ability to keep her own silly references to herself waned when she’d been at the wine. Unhelped by the fact that she never really tried to keep them to herself anymore, either. Not with him. Although she suspected none would believe her if she told them he found it funny.

“Well, when the day comes and we forsake clothing for good, there is one thing I would rather like you to wear.”

“A smile?”

He chuckled – something she felt, from where she was pressed against his chest, more than she heard. Then, with the hand not still tangled in her hair, he dug into the pocket of his breeches and pulled forth something she could not see, thanks to how her body shielded it from any of the light the hearth and the candles dotted about the room offered.

Theo sat up and he followed her, his hand soon cast in golden light. A necklace dangled from his long fingers – a damn fine necklace, too, a gold chain bearing a gold pendant, around an inch in diameter, in the shape of a compass rose. The edges were round, smooth, and a warm brilliant shade of gold, but the compass-star shape that it bore was made up of deep, vivid green emeralds set into the pendant.

“I knew it would suit you perfectly, the moment I saw it,” he spoke – still watching her reaction carefully. “Not that I know much of jewellery. You still touch the space where your other one, the silver one from your homeland, used to sit. I don’t know whether you noticed. I thought I might…well, not replace it, but offer something else.”

She hadn’t – noticed, that was. But she wasn’t surprised that he had. Not much ever escaped his notice.

“It’s…it’s beautiful, James, I can’t believe…”

They’d already exchanged gifts earlier in the day. First thing in the morning, in fact. She’d gifted him a state-of-the-art (by today’s standards, anyway) rifle that he’d openly admired in town before setting it down to turn his mind to more practical matters, like home-building and things that might benefit them both. Selfless bastard.

Although her gift to him made her laugh when she opened the box that housed what he had gotten her. A finely carved and polished recurve bow, along with a gorgeous leather quiver full of arrows, for she’d expressed an interest in learning archery. James had shared her amusement – given how they’d traded weapons over the breakfast table, anybody might think they were preparing for another war. Not the stereotypical sort of romantic newlyweds. Relatively newlyweds, she supposed. But given that this was still the first of the time they’d been able to spend together, live together, under circumstances that weren’t strange, fantastical, and downright deadly, everything still felt marvellously new.

Still, she couldn’t protest that he’d already given her a gift…because she had another stashed for him beneath the sofa they sat on now, so they – as was becoming their habit – had proven to be of one mind.

“It’s too much,” she said doubtfully. “I can’t get over it.”

She wasn’t sure she’d ever been so amazed at a piece of jewellery. It looked like something that belonged on an elf in a fantasy movie, and he gave her it because it reminded him of her. Holding it up to the light of the hearth, she watched as the firelight caught the emeralds.

“Nonsense. It’s not enough. I mean to shower you in jewels by the time we’re old and grey. Tis my duty as your husband, is it not?”

Handing it back to him, she reached behind her and bundled her hair up into her hands, and he understood immediately, moving so he could loop the necklace about her throat, his breath warm against the back of her neck as he fixed it in place.

When he did, she let her hair fall back down again and turned. “Well?”

“Just as I thought,” he said fondly, his features soft as he regarded her.

“I love it,” she said – her hand coming up to trace across the jewels. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome, Theodora. I meant what I said.”

She flushed, but covered it by leaning forward and reaching beneath the sofa, pulling out a gift wrapped in brown paper and wrapped in ribbon.

“And now you can’t get annoyed with me for getting you a second gift, too,” she teased. “Fools seldom differ, eh?”

“I prefer great minds think alike, myself,” he snorted, accepting the gift.

He unwrapped it slowly, by which point her heart had travelled upwards within her chest until it felt like it was rattling beneath her gorgeous new necklace. Finally, a bundle of white fabric was revealed – soft to the touch, and accented here and there by painstakingly placed dark blue stitches. She hesitated to call it embroidery, for that was far too grand a term for what she’d achieved.

“A shirt?” he asked as though checking he was correct – perhaps because she was so visibly nervous.

“I made it,” she explained quietly, hands twisting together in her lap. “I know I’m not very good at the, erm, wife-ing…”

Opening his mouth immediately to protest, James was silenced when she took his hand.

“In the sense of the word today, I’m not the conventional sort of wife,” she amended. “So I wanted to at least try my hand at some of it. For you. The whole my husband is my lord and master thing will have to wait, though.”

“I look forward to it,” he said drily, inspecting the shirt. “This is fine work, Theodora. Fine work. Surely this was not your first attempt?”

“Oh, definitely not. I lost count of how many I made before I was happy with that one. All of the attempts that preceded it went to the poor…which was really adding insult to injury, I think, but Mrs Wright insisted they wouldn’t mind.”

She’d wanted it to be good, damn it. Wanted to give him something she was proud to have made, and that he’d be proud to wear, rather than doing so out of love for her – the way an indulgent grown-up might put a kid’s terrible artwork up on the wall. Thankfully, she seemed to have achieved her end, so the hours painstakingly stitching pleats into the cuffs and laces into the collar had paid off.

"I have to confess to one slight trademark," she added, taking up the shirt and turning the cuff of the right sleeve inside out.

Pressing up from underneath the fabric, she exposed the stitching there – revealing three stitches of thread that wouldn’t be noticeable unless someone specifically went looking. One green, one white, and one orange.

“Like your shoulder,” he chuckled. “I will wear it proudly. It’ll have to be wrestled off of me so that it might be washed.”

She grinned, tucking her hair behind her ear and feeling very pleased with herself as her nerves dissipated – for he meant it. Not the bit about refusing to wear clean clothes, of course, but he was visibly pleased with it, and not in a way that was just humouring her.

“See? Now we’ll be one of those disgusting couples who match. I stole one of your shirts to help with the measurements.”

“You’ve a habit of stealing my clothing,” he chuckled. “Although the cause was a much safer one, this time.”

He could tell that to her hands, which had been stabbed by needles more times than she could now count.

“Well, help yourself to my skirts anytime. Might be a wee bit short on you, though.”

Chuckling, he set the shirt aside but there was a thoughtfulness to his gaze that made her wonder – and then he pulled her closer, the back of his index finger trailing down the side of her face.

“I care not – about the conventional wife matter. You know that, don’t you? We discussed it in London, and I thought the matter closed, but if it still weighs on you, it should not.”

“It doesn’t,” she said, and she spoke truthfully.

“Good. I don’t wish for a wife, Theodora. Only you. And you are a perfect wife. My perfect wife.”

He’d said words to that effect on their wedding night, and they still hadn’t lost their lustre.

“And I don’t care about the hair – or the beard, or whatever the hell you wear. However I might joke."

"Even when I'm surly, tired, and exasperatingly English?"

"Especially then. Get yourself another one of those abominable wigs, weld it to your head, and you’d still drive me mad. You should know that. I prefer you however you are. Whenever you are. Always.”

Judging by the dangerous glint his eyes adopted, if he had not known it beforehand (doubtful), he did now. He soon got his Christmas wish of seeing her in nothing but her beautiful new necklace.

And a smile.

Understanding Fleets: Key Organizations in the Trucking Industry

The trucking industry is a vital component of the global economy, responsible for moving goods efficiently across vast distances. Within this intricate network, various organizations play essential roles in shaping operations, regulations, and the future of trucking. Understanding these key organizations is crucial for industry stakeholders, from fleet managers to logistics providers.

For-hire carriers and Private Fleets

For-hire carriers are companies that transport goods for others in exchange for compensation.

Common Carriers: These carriers offer services to the general public and are obligated to transport goods as long as they have the capacity and are lawful.

Contract Carriers: These carriers provide services based on specific contracts with shippers, allowing for tailored transportation solutions that meet unique customer needs.

Private Fleets, on the other hand, are operated by companies to transport their products. Firms like Walmart and Coca-Cola manage private fleets to control logistics and distribution effectively, ensuring timely deliveries and cost efficiency. 2. American Trucking Associations (ATA)

The American Trucking Association is the largest national trade organization representing the trucking industry. Founded in 1933, the ATA advocates for the interests of trucking companies, working on issues such as safety regulations, infrastructure funding, and tax policies. They provide valuable resources, including industry research, educational programs, and networking opportunities, helping members stay informed about best practices and legislative changes. 3. Trucking Industry Defense Association (TIDA)

The Trucking Industry Defense Association focuses on legal and regulatory issues affecting the trucking sector. TIDA works to protect the interests of trucking companies in legal matters, providing resources, education, and representation to help navigate complex legal challenges. Their efforts ensure the latest legal developments and the necessary support to address potential liabilities. 4. National Association of Small Trucking Companies (NASTC)

The National Association of Small Trucking Companies represents the interests of smaller trucking businesses. NASTC offers resources, advocacy, and networking opportunities tailored to the unique challenges faced by small operators. The association provides members access to discounted services, insurance programs, and training opportunities, helping to level the playing field with larger competitors. 5. Fleet Management Associations

Numerous associations focus on fleet management, promoting best practices, and providing resources to help companies improve their operations. These organizations offer training, certifications, and networking events aimed at enhancing fleet efficiency and safety. Key associations include:

The Association for Fleet Management Professionals (NAFA): NAFA provides resources and education for fleet managers, focusing on innovative practices, sustainability, and regulatory compliance.

The National Private Truck Council (NPTC): NPTC represents companies that operate private fleets, offering members access to industry research, benchmarking data, and educational resources specific to private fleet operations. 6. Regulatory Bodies

Various regulatory bodies oversee the trucking industry to ensure safety and compliance. Key organizations include:

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA): The FMCSA regulates the trucking industry in the United States, establishing safety standards, monitoring compliance, and enforcing regulations to protect public safety.

Department of Transportation (DOT): The DOT oversees transportation infrastructure and policies, ensuring that roads and highways are for safe and efficient trucking operations.

Conclusion

Understanding the key organizations in the trucking industry is essential for navigating the complexities of fleet management and logistics. From advocacy groups like the American Trucking Associations to regulatory bodies like the FMCSA, these organizations play vital roles in shaping the industry landscape. By engaging with these entities, trucking companies can enhance their operations, stay informed about industry trends, and advocate for their interests in a rapidly changing environment. As the trucking industry continues to evolve, collaboration and support from these organizations will be critical to ensuring efficient and sustainable transportation solutions.

Bitches, I have a potentially odd question. I accepted a job at roughly 10% below market rate because a) it was my first interview back at the job hunt and I chickened out, and b) I don't have my degree in my field yet, and the job definitely requires one!

I'm set to graduate early next year, and they knew that going in. I took it as a discount for them taking a chance on someone who hasn't graduated and ate my negotiating mistake when I accepted the offer.

Once I graduate though... I want to ask for a raise, at least up to the 10% market. I know not to make my argument based on that alone, but, (bear with me) what if I haven't done anything notable? How do I advocate for the raise based solely on "I fucked up when negotiating and you got a cheap year, now pay me what I'm actually worth"?

It's a fairly well defined entry level role, there's no real process improvement or exceptional milestones to hit. At my last job, there were easy things to point at cause the place was a shitshow. Here everything functions pretty well... so... how do I do this?

(Hopefully, by the time I'm actually asking for the raise, I will have done some notable things. If that doesn't happen though... I'd love some pointers.)

Thank you my glorious hearts of the ecosystem, sisters to Pando, you are the parent aspen from which the rest of the forest grows!

Oh my stars, you sure came armed with the kind of over-the-top compliment we LIVE FOR.

Anyway, this is a good question! We always recommend focusing on your own accomplishments rather than outside factors, as you already know. And your employer DEFINITELY knows they got you at 10% below market rate. So they're probably anticipating you're going to ask for a raise after graduation. Which means they've likely already considered their answer.

In a way, this makes your job easier. They're expecting the ask, they know how they'll answer... so there's less pressure on you to make your case.

But you should still make it by showing how you've met expectations. If you haven't exceeded them (and I think you're probably selling yourself short, pudding), at LEAST showing you've met all your benchmarks while being underpaid will imply that at a higher compensation level, you could start exceeding those expectations.

Here's more on getting a raise, pudding:

Top 10 Benefits of Working with a Finance Recruitment Firm

In the dynamic world of finance and accounting, securing top-tier talent is more than just filling vacancies; it's about finding professionals who can drive your business to new heights. The stakes are high, and the recruitment process can be intricate and overwhelming. However, partnering with a specialized recruitment firm can transform this challenge into a strategic advantage.

At BJRC Recruiting, we leverage our expertise and extensive network to connect businesses with exceptional finance professionals. Here are the top 10 benefits of working with a finance recruitment firm, demonstrating why this partnership is essential for your success.

1. Access to a Vast Talent Pool

One of the primary benefits of working with a finance recruitment firm is access to an extensive network of qualified candidates. Specialized firms have cultivated relationships with top finance professionals, enabling them to tap into a broad talent pool. This access is particularly valuable in a niche field like finance, where highly skilled candidates are often in high demand and low supply.

2. Industry Expertise

Finance recruitment firms specialize in the finance sector, meaning they have in-depth knowledge of industry trends, salary benchmarks, and the specific skills required for various roles. This expertise allows them to provide valuable insights and advice, ensuring that your recruitment process aligns with the latest industry standards and practices.

3. Time and Cost Efficiency

Recruiting the right talent can be a lengthy and costly process. A finance recruitment firm streamlines this process by handling everything from candidate sourcing to screening and interviewing. This efficiency not only saves time but also reduces the overall cost of recruitment by minimizing the risk of a bad hire.

4. Thorough Screening and Assessment

Recruitment firms conduct rigorous screening and assessment processes to ensure that candidates meet your specific requirements. This includes evaluating technical skills, experience, and cultural fit. By providing a shortlist of pre-vetted candidates, firms save you the hassle of sifting through countless resumes and conducting initial interviews.

5. Faster Hiring Process

In the fast-paced world of finance, filling vacancies quickly is crucial to maintaining operational continuity. Recruitment firms have the resources and networks to expedite the hiring process, often filling roles much faster than in-house recruitment teams. This speed is particularly beneficial for critical positions that require immediate attention.

6. Reduced Hiring Risk

Every hire carries a risk, but partnering with a finance recruitment firm can mitigate this risk. Recruitment firms offer guarantees on their placements, meaning that if a candidate doesn't work out within a specified period, they will find a replacement at no additional cost. This assurance provides peace of mind and protects your investment in new hires.

7. Market Insights and Salary Benchmarking

Understanding current market conditions and salary benchmarks is essential for attracting and retaining top talent.
