CFO’s Domain Reimagines Executive Search with AI Recruiter

CFO’s Domain specializes in placing senior-level finance, accounting, and business intelligence talent for Fortune 500 companies and private equity-backed firms. With growing demand for top talent, their executive team needed a way to scale the company without sacrificing candidate quality or EBITDA.  To meet that challenge, CFO’s Domain adopted Apriora, an AI-powered interview platform built to streamline top-of-funnel screening for high-stakes roles.

A Dedicated AI Recruiter for Senior Roles

At the center of their workflow is Alex, Apriora’s AI recruiter. Alex acts as a full-fledged member of the team - with her own email address, Salesforce integration, and scheduling calendar.  Alex handles the initial screening by conducting on-demand interviews with candidates for roles like:

• Interim CFO
• VP, Financial Planning and Analysis
• Director, Corporate FP&A

These are high-impact roles with an average salary of $250,000, where precision and speed matter. By automating the earliest stage of vetting, Alex helps the team prioritize only the most qualified candidates - without sacrificing the depth expected at the executive level.

Consistent, High-Quality Screening at Scale

Since introducing Apriora, CFO’s Domain has redesigned how they handle initial candidate evaluations.

• Avoided a 50% increase in recruiter headcount by using Alex to handle top-of-funnel screening
• 4.7 / 5 average rating on candidate satisfaction meeting Alex based on post-interview feedback

Candidates have responded positively to the experience, often noting the depth of Alex’s questions and how the process reflects the caliber of the roles they’re applying for. Internally, the recruiting team uses Apriora to reduce screening time and prioritize only the strongest applicants.

Apriora functions like a supercharged recruiting associate — it asks smart questions, surfaces key insights early, and dramatically speeds up our screening process, letting our recruiters focus on deeper conversations and higher-value work.

What's Next

As demand increases, Alex will be pivotal in driving the team’s growth, ensuring faster placements, delivering deeper insights, and enhancing the overall experience for every senior-level candidate. With Alex’s continued involvement, CFO’s Domain is poised to scale efficiently while maintaining a high level of excellence in candidate experience and operational success.
