How to hire finance talent in Mumbai
Hiring finance talent in Mumbai usually means a job post, days of waiting and hundreds of unfiltered applications. Here's a faster way to brief, screen and shortlist, with or without a job post.
Write a clear brief
A good brief saves hours of screening. Include the role, experience, must-have skills, location or remote, budget and when they should start. For example:
FP&A analyst, 2–4 years, Mumbai, consumer company.
Skills to screen for
Shortlist finance talent on financial modelling, Excel, budgeting and forecasting, accounting knowledge, ERP systems and analysis. Ask for proof: projects, portfolios or results from their previous roles.
Interview questions
Walk through a model you built
How do you explain variances to leadership?
Excel shortcuts you can't live without?
Hiring tip
A short modelling exercise works well.
