We’re delighted to welcome Danny Savino to SRM Recruitment as a Regional Manager in our Finance recruitment division. Danny tells us about his career to date, what appealed to him about working for SRM, his remit in his new role and his advice for candidate and clients.
Tell us about your career to date?
In 1996, I embarked on an exciting path in the recruitment industry. Since then, I’ve been at the forefront, steering successful and dynamic recruitment teams across various domains. My leadership has spanned diverse areas, including sales & marketing, technology and business support. In the last 10 years, I’ve delved into the intricate world of accountancy & finance recruitment.
What prompted your move to SRM?
The reason I joined SRM Recruitment is because I’ve been familiar with them for some time, and I appreciate their client-centric approach. They’ve cultivated an environment where individuals can truly become the best version of themselves.
What was it that appealed to you about working for SRM?
Joining SRM was an easy decision for me. Right from the founders to the entire team, I felt an immediate sense of trust and alignment. Professionally, the chance to help enhance the service offered already to our clients in the home counties is a great opportunity.
Tell us about yourself?
You’ll often find me at the gym, dedicated to my fitness routine. I’m committed to staying active, pushing my limits, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Whether it’s lifting weights, hitting the treadmill, or a few press ups, I thrive on the endorphin rush that exercise brings. As an avid Newcastle United fan, my weekends revolve around the beautiful game and on occasions attending St James Park or seeing them on their travels down south.
What led you to specialise in finance roles?
My journey into finance recruitment took an unexpected turn. Having worked across various sectors, a technology client of mine needed help rebuilding their finance team. This really sparked my interest and excitement in recruiting in this sector. From that moment, the rest became history, and I’ve been passionate about it ever since.
Tell us about your remit in your new role?
As a recruiter specialising in part-qualified (PQ) accountants, I’ve had the privilege of connecting talented individuals with exciting opportunities across various sectors. From financial accounting to management accounting, I’ve navigated the vibrant landscape of commerce and industry within the home counties. Whether it’s helping candidates take their next career step or assisting companies in finding the right fit, my passion lies in creating successful matches.
What do hiring managers and job seekers like about working with you?
Both my clients and job seekers appreciate working with me for several reasons. For clients, I provide tailored recruitment solutions, efficiently source top talent, maintain effective communication, and build long-term partnerships. Job seekers benefit from my guidance, advocacy, transparency, and focus on their career growth.
