Buckingham Search continues to be the exclusive recruiting partner for a well known international financial services firm with a headquarters here in Chicago. This is an audit team that we have helped hire over 25 people for, and only one person has ever quit the team for another company (many rotate into the organization) and that person relocated. Their strategy of retaining their employees is simple: provide challenging work that keeps the team learning and motivated, appreciate the work the team is doing, respect the team’s life outside of work, and present plenty of options to progress ones career.

Even before COVID, this team offered work from home opportunities and even though they haven’t made an announcement on returning to the office, they have made it clear that they will not go back to 5 days in the office.

 

There are too many exciting aspects to share about the team, role, leadership, and company in a job post, so if you have an interest in learning more please apply.
