Every business and every candidate is different, that's why we recruit across permanent, temporary/interim, and contract roles to find the right fit for your finance function.
Permanent
At Willow Recruit, we know that finding the right permanent hire can be one of the most important decisions for a business. The right person doesn't just fill a role, they shape your team, strengthen processes, and contribute to the long-term success of your finance function. That's where our permanent recruitment service comes in.
We specialise in connecting businesses with qualified finance professionals who are not only technically capable, but who also fit your team's culture and way of working.
From accounts assistants and transactional finance roles to part-qualified candidates, finance managers, and senior finance leaders, we have the experience and network to find the right person for every level of your finance function.
Every candidate we represent is met face-to-face, so we understand their motivations, ambitions, and approach to work.
For candidates, permanent roles offer the chance to grow, develop, and make a lasting impact within a business. We work closely with individuals to understand their career goals, provide guidance on market expectations, and introduce them to opportunities where they can thrive long term.
For businesses, working with Willow Recruit means having access to a trusted network of finance professionals and a partner who takes the time to understand your team, processes, and objectives.
By matching skills, experience, and personality, we help you build teams that deliver results and stay in place, reducing turnover and giving your finance function the stability it needs to succeed.
Temporary/Interim
At Willow Recruit, we understand that not every role calls for a permanent hire. Sometimes you need someone who can step in immediately, whether that's covering maternity leave, supporting a system implementation, assisting with year-end processes, or bridging a gap during a team transition.
That's where our interim and temporary division comes in.
We specialise in providing skilled finance professionals who can make an impact from day one. Whether you need cover on a PAYE basis, a fixed-term contract, a limited company arrangement, or a day-rate project, we have the right solution. Even for temporary roles, we don't cut corners, every candidate we represent is met face-to-face.
That personal approach ensures we understand not just their skills, but also their motivations and how they'll fit into your team.
For the professionals we work with, interim and temporary roles offer real opportunities. They provide flexibility, variety, and the chance to broaden experience across different industries, systems, and teams. Many candidates also find that temporary work opens doors to permanent opportunities while helping them develop new skills and expand their networks. For those working on day rates or project-based roles, it can even mean higher earnings while shaping a career path that suits their goals.
For businesses, partnering with Willow Recruit means quick access to a trusted network of qualified finance professionals. We handle the vetting, compliance, payroll, and administration, allowing you to focus on running your business. By understanding your needs and culture, we can deliver the right interim solution with minimal disruption and maximum impact, whether that's short-term cover, additional capacity, or specialist expertise.
Contract
At Willow Recruit, we understand that sometimes businesses need specialist finance expertise for a defined period. Whether it's a project, seasonal workload, system implementation, or covering a transitional period, contract roles offer flexibility for both businesses and candidates.
We work with contracts of varying lengths, from a few weeks to several months, and everything in between.
Our focus is on connecting businesses with skilled finance professionals who can step in and make an immediate impact.
Every candidate we represent is met face-to-face, so we understand their experience, motivations, and how they work, ensuring a strong fit not just in terms of skills, but also how they'll integrate into your business.
Contract roles can also be a stepping stone to permanent opportunities. Many of the positions we manage are contract-to-perm, giving both the candidate and the client the chance to see how the fit works in practice. For candidates, this means the opportunity to experience a business, broaden their skill set, and demonstrate their value. For employers, it provides a low-risk way to bring in expertise and assess whether someone is the right long-term addition to the team.
Working with Willow Recruit for contract recruitment means you gain access to a trusted network of finance professionals, and a partner who understands both the commercial and cultural needs of your business. By combining insight into skills, experience, and the way a candidate operates, we help you find professionals who can deliver results from day one and, where appropriate, transition seamlessly into permanent roles.
"After 15 years in finance recruitment across Yorkshire, I've learned that the best placements come from truly understanding both sides. Recently, I worked with an SME who'd struggled with three Finance Managers in two years. The problem wasn't qualifications - it was fit. We took time to understand what had gone wrong and what success really looked like for them. Six months on, their new Finance Manager is driving real change and the team has never been more stable. That's what Willow Recruit is about - creating partnerships that last, not just filling vacancies."
