Industry: Sales Support & Marketing Services (Residential Real Estate Brokerage) | Role(s) Placed: Chief Financial Officer (originally scoped as VP of Finance)
The Challenge
A privately held national provider of sales support and marketing services for the residential real estate brokerage sector engaged Aspire to recruit a VP of Finance. As the search progressed, it became clear the business’s strategic objectives required more senior leadership than the original scope.
Our Approach
After presenting three qualified VP-level candidates, Aspire worked transparently with the client to reassess the brief and pivot the search toward a CFO profile. Rather than force-fit a candidate to an outdated mandate, we recalibrated quickly to match the role to the business’s actual needs.
The Outcome
Aspire placed a CFO with the experience and leadership required to drive the business forward — saving the client months of misdirected searching and securing a long-term fit the original scope would not have delivered.
