Building a new shared service centre

Case study

Our approach We established a dedicated internal project team to leverage our extensive branch networks and meet required time frames for multiple hires. We identified suitable applicants through our existing local networks as well as advertising to source additional talent. To streamline the process for our client, we pre-screened all shortlisted candidates against specific measures and agreed questions. This initial screening stage reduced the number of client interviews and saved time for the hiring organisation. We also supported with senior management training calls to facilitate the new starters’ inductions, along with onboarding tips. Value delivered As a result of a detailed pre-screening stage, we were able to present a wide selection of quality candidates for interview with our client. Close management throughout the project meant we successfully filled all the open finance positions within the tight deadlines set by our client. Positive feedback We engaged with Robert Half to assist in a multi-hire finance project within our Shared Services team. Working with Robert Half was really successful. They shared some great CVs with us and helped us to recruit a large number of new hires in a short amount of time. They were able to provide a range of CVs for a number of different roles we had and were always on hand to answer any questions.
