Senior Accounting Specialist that addressed many criteria

Case Study:

Recruitment Process Outsourcing

Job Function: Finance / Accounting

A bioscience client needed a Senior Accounting Specialist who would provide day-to-day support to ensure the company’s finance and accounting department continued to run efficiently.

This position came with a few challenges.  We had to identify and recruit the ideal candidate for this role. In addition to the GAAP, G/L, AP and systems requirements, this position also reported to a manager that did not work onsite.  The candidate hired would need to work independently with little supervision.

The client also did not want any interruption in their process, the position was a replacement for someone who was leaving the company less than three weeks from the onset of the search.

Top Source Talent worked with the client’s Hiring Manager to establish strategy for identifying qualified and accessible candidates.   The search was successful.  The top candidate recruited and placed with the client company met the position requirements and was an ideal cultural fit.  The Sr. Accounting Specialist promoted quickly after being with the company a short time, and succeeded the manager that she was hired to work with.
