From Las Vegas at KyribaLive: Why I’m Not a “Ghost” Recruiter in Treasury

Why It Matters

By turning recruiters into active market educators, treasury talent pipelines become more resilient and firms gain deeper insight into compensation trends and skill demands.

Key Takeaways

• Recruiter emphasizes face‑to‑face engagement over passive job listings.
• Live events in Vegas, London, Amsterdam build treasury community.
• Offers podcasts, salary surveys, and AI discussions for added value.
• Challenges “ghost recruiter” model by providing ongoing market insights.
• Travels extensively to meet thousands of treasury professionals personally.

Summary

In a weekly video recorded at KyribaLive in Las Vegas, the host—who identifies as a treasury recruiter—explains why he rejects the “ghost recruiter” stereotype and instead immerses himself in the community.

He highlights that his role extends beyond filling positions: he produces a podcast, conducts salary surveys, hosts live panels on AI, and organizes regional events in London, Amsterdam and Dublin. By traveling to meet thousands of treasury professionals, he gathers real‑time market data and offers actionable career advice.

A memorable exchange with AFP’s Pat Culin underscores the point: “You do so much more… you’re helping treasury professionals.” The video shows him on the conference floor, emphasizing face‑to‑face conversations as the core of his value proposition.

This approach signals a shift in talent acquisition for niche finance functions, where recruiters become strategic partners rather than mere job matchmakers, potentially raising candidate engagement and improving placement quality.

Original Description

From Las Vegas at KyribaLive: Why I’m Not a “Ghost” Recruiter in Treasury

In this week’s video, I’m recording from Las Vegas at KyribaLive, surrounded by around a thousand treasury professionals and having the same conversations I share in my newsletter.

I talk about a question from Pat Culkin at the AFP @afponline whether I’m “actually a recruiter” and explain that I do far more than wait behind a desk for jobs to come in.

I describe my approach as building an ecosystem of value through podcasts, salary surveys, live events, and roundtables, so I’m consistently adding insight and advice to treasury professionals who often move roles every three to five years.

I also share takeaways from a panel discussion on cutting through the noise around AI, and mention upcoming events in London, Amsterdam, and Dublin.
