Management Accountant (Media & PR Industry)
As a result of a recent merger between our client and another international company, they needed an experienced temporary Management Accountant to fill the gap created by a restructure. Due to the quick turnaround needed, we were able to bring the suitable candidates in to interview within a matter of days and had the position filled successfully within a week. The candidate has received glowing reports from our client, so much so they have now offered them a contract to become a permanent member of staff.
Commercial Finance Assistant (Television Company)
Due to an internal promotion, my client, a well known television company required a Commercial Finance Assistant to join their business on a temporary to permanent basis. They were looking to get the person on board ASAP and were looking for the person to be able to demonstrate not only the correct skill set but also the right personality fit for the department. Thanks to the recruiter-client relationship built over time and our extensive pool or temporary candidates, a strong shortlist was submitted and the successful candidate started well within the required timeframe.
UK wide Activity Based Costing implementation
A well established Financial Services company with market leading positions in life insurance, health insurance and general insurance, was to undertake a large scale Activity Based Costing (ABC) programme across all business areas in both the UK and Ireland.
Marks Sattin was assigned to recruit the Programme Manager for the ABC implementation. After an extensive screening process, we successfully sourced a seasoned Programme Manager who had undertaken a very similar project at a competitor in the Life Insurance sector.
The programme was to run for two years and during this period, we were used on a sole agency basis to source experienced Business Analysts into the programme. After the completion of the ABC Project, the Programme Manager has subsequently gone on to manage further projects for the client and continues to use us on a sole basis for contingency requirements.
Structured Credit Product Controller - (Investment Bank)
This client required a qualified Structured Product Controller to join their growing team to replace a team member that was emigrating. Having worked with the business before and because we had an in-depth understanding of the candidates that would compliment the team, we were able to send a short list of 4 top quality candidates (all had been previously met and vetted by Marks Sattin consultants) who were all called to interview.
The successful candidate was chosen within 24 hours of the final interview, receiving very good feedback from the client.
Legal Entity Controller - (Investment Bank)
We were approached by a new client who required a temp Legal Entity controller to come on board within the week to cover maternity leave. Within 24 hours we were able to send over a short-list of candidates and arrange interviews for the next day -something none of our competitors managed.
The client commented on our speed in delivery, and was impressed that the successfully placed candidate was available to work within such a short space of time. We are now working on a number of other assignments following a glowing recommendation of our service and access to a talented pool of candidates.
Project Accountant
Highly acquisitive FTSE 250 Facilities Management Company recently identified a small family owned Security firm. The client needed someone to provide high level Commercial, Financial and Operational Due Diligence across the Security Firm as they didn’t posses the relevant resource.
The client was given a shortlist of 4 suitable candidates, all of which were invited to interview and we were able to place the candidate within 24 hours. We have now been exclusively retained to assist with the Integration.
Client Feedback
“When helping us with our latest role he went beyond the call of duty to organise 4 candidates while he himself was on holidays. All of the candidates were a good fit for the role and our organisation and the person we chose for the role has been performing well”.
Qualified Temporary Assignment
This leading FTSE 100 Home Retail outfit was in the process of launching numerous strategic projects to investigate corporate development opportunities into new markets and therefore required someone to manage the process from inception to conclusion.
The client had already been working with other agencies that had been unable to source a suitable candidate. Marks Sattin was able to provide the client with a shortlist of 3 relevant candidates. We were successfully able to secure a placement within 10 days. We have since been working on other contract roles a sole agency basis and 2 further senior permanent roles.
