So how do you ensure the next time you’re searching for a chief or senior ethics and compliance officer that the search is successful? We put that question to executive recruiter Jamie Browne, Managing Director, Corporate Governance, Leonid Group. Jamie recently shared advice for candidates on finding their next position.

In this podcast he offers a wealth of advice including:

Focus more on a candidate’s hands-on experience as a compliance officer rather than education or industry background

Be flexible on hybrid options: the fewer days you require in the office, the wider the geography it’s practical to recruit from

Fully-remote jobs have the largest candidate pool since it’s possible to recruit nationwide

Be sure to consider what personality will fit with the existing compliance team

Define a reasonable set of stages for recruiting and the gaps in time between them so you can manage candidate expectations

Be sure the salary is commensurate with the experience level you expect

Don’t expect a candidate to have deep experience in every compliance risk area
