Since we're talking about it how would you source a financial analyst?

Maureen Sharib
financial analysts also are going to fall under the CFO

Maureen Sharib
I would find some names in that particular dept - call in and talk to them OR talk to their administrative assistant and use the names I found in an attempt to sound like “friendly fire”.

I like the idea of talking about a step by step sourcing plan too- it would be good to know other people approach a search

Maureen Sharib
I tell her my name, I tell her the name of the receptionist who transferred me, I repeat HER name back at her (all this creates a low level sense of familiarity - that friendly fire I referred to above) and then I ask her for the information I seek. How do you get past the gatekeeper, Melanie?
