A renowned international company operating in the luxury sector, with a strong retail and wholesale presence in foreign markets, turned to our firm to support the search for a strategic profile to strengthen the Finance department.
The company was looking for a Junior Financial Controller to join the Finance team, with growth potential in international management control. After several unsuccessful independent attempts, the client decided to entrust the recruitment to the Finance & Accounting team at Professional Recruitment.
The role required: theoretical knowledge in administrative and financial matters, interest in the luxury sector, strong proficiency in IT tools, and an excellent command of the English language.
During the initial analysis of the previous recruitment process, several critical issues emerged:
This initial selection process lasted several months without being completed, indicating a weak positioning in terms of employer branding.
The dedicated recruitment team implemented a consultative approach focused on several fronts:
In less than a month, a candidate perfectly aligned with the company’s requirements was identified and onboarded: a motivated Junior Financial Controller ready to take on challenges.
From the very first weeks, the candidate demonstrated excellent integration skills and strong proactivity, becoming a valuable support for the Finance team. Their onboarding also contributed to enhancing the internal perception of both the role and the department.
This project highlighted the importance of alignment between role requirements, communication approach, and the promotion of the job opportunity. The consultative intervention went beyond recruitment and selection, positively impacting employer branding and candidate experience as well.
