Getting to know a treasurer by talking to them on the podcast has given me unique insights into the different challenges they each face. After interviewing Martijn Van Steenpaal, Global Treasurer at Darling Ingredients, it was amazing to be called by him a year after the podcast. I’d gained fantastic insights into the kind of people Darling Ingredients needed in the US and, as it turned out, globally. It was great to help him find not one, but three members of his global treasury team since we first started speaking back in 2020.
The Challenge
Darling Ingredients needed a new Treasury Manager who had been exposed to a wide variety of treasury challenges and was eager to utilize the latest technology for a global impact. Recruiting Martijn’s Treasury Manager became a key part of our search.
Our Solution
After a thorough briefing, we mapped the local markets around Dallas, Texas, and identified top talent. It wasn’t straightforward, as many Senior Treasury Analysts/Managers were content in their current positions. We took an active approach with a social media campaign, including an eye-catching advert and a YouTube video detailing the unique challenges of the role. We aimed to find someone looking to advance their treasury career and contribute to the growth of the entire treasury function.
The Result
We sourced and placed a fantastic candidate, Anu, with an impressive track record from 7-Eleven, back in 2022. This led to a greater understanding of Darling Ingredients’ global operations, helping us grasp the challenges faced by the team in Texas and globally.
In conclusion, Martijn Van Steenpaal of Darling Ingredients shared his experience working with us:
“Whether you need a new person in your Treasury team or you want a new Treasury role in a different company, I would highly recommend The Treasury Recruitment Company.
Mike and his team totally specialize in Treasury recruitment, which in my opinion is crucial when you need to find the right match between a Treasury role and a candidate. With the specific knowledge, experience and network built up in the Treasury world, they truly differentiate themselves.
They take a targeted approach and actually know what to look for to get the right match while managing the recruitment process in a very personable and professional way. Thanks Mike & the team for helping us hire our amazing new Treasury Manager, we look forward to working with you again, well done.”
