Recruitment Director – Tatum Financial Projects Group (FPG)
Individual Contributor Role | Talent Delivery Focused

The Recruitment Director for Tatum’s Financial Projects Group (FPG) plays a key role in delivering finance and accounting consultants for project-based client engagements. This role is focused on talent identification, recruitment, and candidate lifecycle management in support of project delivery needs across areas such as ERP implementations, finance transformation, and interim controllership.

This is not a sales or leadership role. However, the recruiter partners closely with the FPG Sales Director, participating in client intake calls and client update meetings, and contributes to pipeline growth by identifying leads through candidate interviews and reference checks.
