Financial Accountant – Case Study

The Assignment

In the fast-paced logistics industry, Osborne was approached to fill an extremely urgent position for a Financial Accountant. The role was initially temporary with the potential for permanent opportunities. The client was seeking a dynamic individual who could demonstrate versatility, initiative, and strong team collaboration skills. This urgent requirement demanded a swift and precise recruitment process to ensure the client’s operations continued smoothly.

The Process

Upon receiving the assignment, Osborne promptly met with the client to gain a thorough understanding of their specific needs and expectations. The key focus was to identify a candidate who was an all-rounder, a go-getter, and a team player. Osborne’s Accountancy & Finance team quickly sourced potential candidates. Given the urgency, candidates were evaluated and shortlisted online to expedite the process.

Four highly qualified candidates were identified and presented to the client. Out of these, two candidates were selected for interviews. Throughout this phase, Osborne maintained close communication with the client to ensure their evolving needs and feedback were incorporated, facilitating a seamless and responsive recruitment process.

The Result

The recruitment process culminated in a highly satisfactory outcome for both the client and the candidate. The selected candidate commenced the role on a temporary basis and swiftly transitioned to a permanent position, even advancing to a more senior role within a short period. This successful placement not only addressed the client’s immediate needs but also contributed to their long-term organisational goals. This case exemplifies Osborne’s commitment to excellence in matching top talent with urgent client needs.

HR Manager – Case Study

The Assignment:

Our client is a renowned contractor in Ireland’s Construction, Fit Out, and Building Services sectors, serving private, public, and commercial clients. We were given the task of finding an ambitious, self-motivated, and enthusiastic HR Manager to join their team. This role involves building, motivating, and developing the team to ensure the delivery of projects to the highest standard with a focus on safety, sustainability, and quality.

The Process:

Osborne’s HR & Talent Acquisition division was appointed as the recruitment partner, and we mobilised a highly coordinated team to find the ideal candidate for our client. We met with the client to understand their needs, culture, and requirements, ensuring a tailored recruitment process. Our detailed search involved collaborating with our internal marketing team to create a specific social media campaign to ensure maximum potential reach, utilising our internal database, and leveraging our extensive network of qualified HR professionals.

We shortlisted seven candidates, five of whom progressed to the interview stage. Given the urgency of the role, we worked with our HR temporary staffing division to secure a temporary employee to support the organisation during the recruitment process. The client was extremely satisfied with this solution, which demonstrated our flexibility and agility in providing both short-term and long-term staffing solutions.

The Result:

An exceptional candidate was appointed. The entire process was conducted both remotely and on-site, with Osborne providing support to the successful candidate throughout the offer and onboarding stages. Both the client and the candidate were extremely pleased to have Osborne as their recruitment partner.
