Client / Manager Notes (Important)

This is a very active role
A candidate recently reached the final round but was rejected (not via our firm)
Feedback from client:
"Had sound communication and strong technical skills. However, overall exposure to finance and solutioning was limited. The role requires a balanced mix of finance understanding + technical depth, and we decided to review other candidates."
