We started working with the candidate in question once they had applied for another role for which they were too junior.

We were very impressed with the candidate throughout our screening process and decided to begin looking for other suitable options.

We presented his profile to the Operations Director, who was equally impressed with the candidate and the detail of the drawings in their portfolio.

We have been working with the company in question for a couple of years now, and during several discussions about the client’s business and projects, it was mentioned on multiple occasions that they could potentially benefit from an accounts professional with expertise in construction project finances, as well as experience within manufacturing.

He was happy for me to present his profile to the client, understanding that it might come to nothing as they were not actively hiring. However, we were able to secure him an interview, and within two weeks, he was offered a position within the business and has now commenced his role with them.
