It’s a myth that the right professional opportunity falls into your lap as if by magic. As if you’ve been chosen by the golden hand of fate. Yes, networks can help open doors and timing is critical, but with the world and your personal circumstances changing at speed, it’s impossible to be...
everywhere,
at all times,
in the right format,
at exactly the same time as the perfect next step is looking for you.
It’s akin to looking for your life partner, at home in front of Netflix in your trackies with take-out on your lap. Happy? Yes. Giving yourself the best shot at finding the love of your life? Nope.

Our story is that we’ve interacted with more than 1,000 finance roles within SMEs during our long history in this space, matching people with opportunities that are their next role. We've been through downturns, periods of huge growth, pandemics and tech tsunamis and one thing is true right now. You need to be Looking, Not Looking, at all times if you want to stay relevant.
So why are finance professionals ditching job board and recruiters for smarter matches through platforms like Role-Match.com who focus on a 360 fit, not just the sliding-door moments of fate?
🎯 Tailored Matching: We have developed IP that finds out everything that’s critically important about both finance roles and finance career-focussed candidates - you - so that roles align with your experience, goals, preferred work style and where you are right now. We have all the benefits of the networks and reputation of a 20-year specialisation of our profession, with the reach and depth of job boards.
⏱️ Time-Saving Discovery: In building your 360-profile quickly, we cover your technical skill assessments, soft-skills assessments, referee endorsements, police checks and qualification checks, so you’ll be ready to slot into a role that’s perfect for you as soon as it becomes available or when they are fishing in the market. And we do it fast. No more endless scrolling, crossing your fingers that the right role is at the top of your feed - just relevant, high-quality opportunities that are optimised for you and them.
💼 Identifying Gaps: We all have them, gaps in skills, blind-spots in knowledge and the trying to constantly outsmart changing algorithms to position yourself for the best outcome for you, whether that’s more money, optimum flexibility or added benefits that matter. As my grandmother used to say when I was looking for my first serious boyfriend, every saucepan has its lid…you just need to find yours.
The truth is, you should be looking at all times, whether you’re happy in your current role or not, because when things change, they change quickly and without notification.
So if you’re #Looking, Not Looking, get ready to stop searching and start matching as part of your career journey. It’s time to explore a smarter way forward.
