Global firm hires analyst for ERP boost

The client, a global management consulting company, was conducting a business-critical upgrade of its ERP software, using its Canadian division as a pilot market. The key goals of the project were to optimize efficiency, integration and productivity, and enhance data analytics and reporting capabilities.

The organization needed an experienced project professional to assume the responsibilities of their business analyst who was supporting the update and therefore unable to fulfill their regular duties.

Robert Half’s finance and accounting talent specialists quickly identified a senior business analyst who was able to hit the ground running and help manage a full load of client cases within three months, enabling the other analysts on their team to focus on the ERP software upgrades.

While experience with the new software was not required, our senior business analyst had experience with the platform and, according to the client, went above and beyond the scope of their role by suggesting other functionality improvements in reporting, forecasting, auditing and case management.

The client has recognized the analyst’s skills and ability to not shy away from raising important factors and providing suggestions, such as reducing the number of days outstanding, which led to more timely collections for the business.

The analyst was also recognized by the organization’s Director of Finance, leading to two extensions to tackle additional project work. The analyst’s support and additional time with our client also enabled colleagues on the team to take much needed and deserved time off and avoid potential burnout.

Most importantly, the analyst’s contributions and impact contributed to the client’s key objective: a successful ERP upgrade.

Digital transformation powered by expert solutions

A Canadian Indigenous nation composed of two bands with more than 2,500 collective members and $130 million CAD in annual revenue needed help identifying its digital transformation needs, which at minimum required implementing new automated payroll and HR management software.

The client was expanding multiple businesses including its hotel and casino and implementing several new initiatives including foster and medical care programs, all of which required digital infrastructure to support their growth.

Our Robert Half Management Resources expert immediately identified a consultant familiar with the client’s chosen software, who began the new system’s adoption process while supporting the organization’s HR and policy teams with its implementation.

Early in the process, based on conversations around the new payroll and HR management systems, Robert Half’s Management Resources expert enlisted a Technology colleague to identify an executive candidate who could support the client’s overall digital transformation efforts as well. This new project CIO is helping not only update but automate the organization’s systems well beyond payroll and HR. We also identified an expert to help the client with grant applications to fund its new social initiatives.

The new payroll and HR management systems are currently in the implementation stage. The client is also looking to hire the CIO full time to continue driving digital transformation, while the grant expert was able to help the nation meet multiple application deadlines to help fund its new foster and medical care programs.

With the new payroll and HR management systems in place, the client is better equipped to assess its workforce and identify talent gaps, ensuring its members are in the positions best suited to their skills and, if applicable, receive whatever training is needed for continued growth.

HR and financial recruiting support

A recently acquired multi-unit restaurant chain faced significant challenges in managing its anticipated double-digit growth. The company needed skilled accountants and controllers to handle the increased financial complexities and ensure smooth operations across its expanding network of restaurants. The urgency to fill these critical roles was compounded by the competitive job market and the need for specialized expertise in both remote and on-site positions.

Robert Half stepped in to address these challenges by leveraging its extensive nationwide talent network. Our recruiters provided comprehensive salary guidance and tailored recruiting strategies designed to attract and retain top-tier talent. By tapping into our large pool of candidates, we identified professionals with the necessary skills and experience to meet the company's needs. This included both remote and on-site talent, ensuring flexibility and adaptability in the hiring process.

Our approach was holistic, focusing not only on immediate hiring needs but also on creating a sustainable pipeline of qualified candidates for future growth.

The collaboration with Robert Half yielded significant results for the restaurant chain. We established a continuous pipeline of skilled remote and on-site talent, which was crucial for supporting the company's ambitious growth plans.

The streamlined HR processes we implemented enabled managers to hire qualified candidates more efficiently, reducing the time and effort required for recruitment. Additionally, we facilitated the hiring of additional professionals, including those for senior roles within the organization's IT and finance functions.

This comprehensive support not only addressed the immediate staffing needs but also positioned the company for long-term success by ensuring a steady influx of high-calibre talent.
