Current Hiring Challenges in Treasury

In a recent peer discussion, the High Potentials cohort confirmed a common challenge – weak candidate lists for the open positions they currently have. This issue may be due to several factors including a lack of awareness/understanding of the treasury function by recent college grads, a higher desire for remote working situations post covid, and other factors. In this session, the group seeks to collaborate with recruiting experts (including Mike Richards of Treasury Recruitment) to highlight potential solutions.

NeuGroup for High Potentials is in pilot mode and has garnered significant attention from members. The goal of the group, which began meeting regularly in 2020, is to give developing treasury professionals exposure to the peer group experience and help them build a tight personal network of peers that can span their careers.  This group contains a wide variety of levels of experience and specialty, but they all share the trait of being promising treasury staff just below the level that typically get to attend NeuGroup meetings.  Nominated members should expect high interaction with peers using real-time tools for collaboration.

Interim meetings are meant for members of the specified peer group. These meetings originated in response to Covid-19 to keep members connected virtually in between semi-annual peer group meetings. They have a headline topic or topics presented for discussion, followed by an open forum for additional peer sharing and learning on other items.
