The Challenge
When our client reached out to our expert staffing and recruiting team, they had an urgent need for a Staff Accountant to maintain GL records, report taxes and reconcile corporate expense reports. The ideal candidate would be able to work independently, be proactive and provide great attention to detail. Their current Staff Accountant, who was responsible for corporate expense reports, was not deadline driven and, while the reporting portion of the position should not have taken more than 20% of their time, it was monopolizing their focus. A critical part of this search was to conduct it confidentially so the company could maintain coverage while the right candidate was identified.
The Solution
Because of our track record of success in providing Accounting and Finance recruiting and placement services, our client immediately reached out to The Squires Group for assistance for this critical and time-sensitive search. Our senior staffing and recruiting team immediately put their expertise in conducting confidential searches to work. As part of this process, they would tap into their regional accounting and finance network to identify potential candidates — while maintaining the confidentiality of the end client. Our recruiting team was also able to balance the delicate mix of recruiting three candidates for our client to consider while keeping all the candidates interested in this confidential position. One of the candidates in consideration was a self-motivated analytical thinker who was also very comfortable in a corporate accounting environment. Additionally, they possessed extensive tax, expense report and bank reconciliation experience. This important mix of skills and abilities was a perfect balance for this particular position.
The Success
Immediately following the final interview, an offer of employment was made to and accepted by our candidate. As a result, the client has acquired a Staff Accountant who is very efficient and has greatly expedited all of the reporting and reconciliation requirements of the position. By successfully conducting a confidential search, our expert recruiting and placement team ensured that there was no work stoppage for our client while the perfect candidate was identified, interviewed and hired.
Today, our client and candidate are both very pleased and enthusiastic about the future of their working relationship.
