I have seen such hiring in my peer group companies. They had placed the new hire with financial bent of mind having hands on experience with number of process automation Applications. I have seen blend of financial and IT focus to be 60:40 respectively with person having professional finance qualifications and certifications of some well-known IT products. This is a niche combination and is not easily available, so such candidates come with a premium of at least 20% than same level roles in the organization.
