Client Success Stories
Defense Industry
Director of Finance
A defense client needed to replace their Director of Finance after an unexpected resignation. Within two weeks, we presented four qualified candidates, and the entire interview process wrapped in under five weeks.
Automotive Industry
Technical Accountant (CPA)
An automotive client required a highly specialized Technical Accountant with a CPA license (during December, one of the toughest hiring months). We delivered two strong candidates within two weeks, stayed within budget, and secured an accepted offer in less than five weeks.
