Chamber in Hesse fills key finance position

Kontrast team masters recruitment in 60 days

After two unsuccessful attempts to fill a vacancy, a professional chamber organization in Hesse entrusted us with the job advertisement for a newly created key position in the area of finance, accounting and controlling. The result: a decision to fill the position within 60 days - including a direct approach, applicant management and end-to-end candidate communication.

Difficult search field: Finance profiles are highly contested - even in an environment close to chambers

Positions at the interface between financial statements, budget management and controlling are currently particularly difficult to fill. Candidates with solid accounting experience are often in stable employment relationships, react sensitively to unclear role profiles - and expect a professionally managed, discreet process. It was precisely this market situation that prompted the Chamber to recruit externally after two internal attempts.

Kontrast mechanics: Direct approach, candidate pool, clear process management

Our Kontrast personnel consulting team took on the mandate as a full-service partner: headhunting - direct search, structured pre-qualification, applicant managementand an applicant hotline for quick feedback and reliable communication. The search was conducted by our permanently employed personnel consultants - with a particular focus on finance expertise, interface skills and fit in a public organization.

"If an organization has searched twice itself, this is not an isolated case - but a clear signal that the market, role and target group need a different approach. We have remapped the search field, approached candidates in a targeted and discreet manner and managed the process in such a way that quality and speed go hand in hand," emphasizes our Managing Director Ingo Scheider.

60 days to signing the contract - thanks to close collaboration with the client

A key success factor was the closely coordinated interaction with the client: short feedback loops, clear decision criteria and transparent process management. This meant that the selection of candidates was not only quick, but also comprehensible and sustainable - with an appointment that was professionally convincing and culturally compatible.
