CONTRACT RECRUITMENT CASE STUDY
Growth Doesn't Wait For Notice Periods
A rapidly growing Dublin-based organisation was embarking on a major finance transformation programme while simultaneously managing increased reporting requirements, system upgrades and several strategic projects. The business needed experienced finance professionals immediately but couldn't afford to wait three to six months for permanent hires to become available. Here's how we helped them quickly secure specialist contract talent and maintain momentum across a business-critical programme.
The Client
Our client, a leading Irish organisation operating across multiple business units, was undergoing a significant period of change. A new ERP implementation, increased regulatory reporting requirements and a number of commercial projects had placed considerable pressure on the existing finance team. While permanent hiring remained part of the long-term strategy, the business required immediate access to experienced finance professionals capable of delivering results from day one.
The Challenge
Several key projects were operating to fixed deadlines with little room for delay. The client needed interim expertise across financial reporting, project accounting, finance systems and business partnering functions. Internal resources were already stretched and permanent recruitment timelines did not align with the urgency of the requirement. The challenge was to quickly identify high-calibre contractors who possessed both the technical expertise and commercial understanding needed to integrate seamlessly into an established finance function.
Our Bespoke Solution
Working closely with the CFO and finance leadership team, we rapidly defined the required skill sets, project objectives and timelines. Leveraging our established network of accountancy and finance contractors, we launched a targeted search focused on experienced professionals with proven track records in transformation, reporting and finance systems projects. We managed the full process including candidate identification, screening, availability assessment, interview coordination, rate negotiation and onboarding. By maintaining close communication throughout the engagement, we ensured the client had immediate access to the expertise required without adding unnecessary pressure to internal teams.
The Results
Within three weeks, we successfully deployed six experienced finance contractors across key project areas, including financial reporting, ERP implementation, FP&A and project accounting. All positions were filled ahead of the client's target timelines, allowing critical projects to remain on schedule. The additional expertise reduced pressure on permanent staff, improved project delivery and enabled the organisation to maintain business continuity during a period of significant change. Several contractors were subsequently extended beyond their initial assignments, while the client engaged Fortis to support additional interim and permanent hiring requirements.
