The Challenge

Our partner needed to stand up a fully functioning finance and accounting shared services team—fast.

The scope was significant:

40 Accounting & Finance Professionals

  • A financial shared services leader
  • Treasury analyst
  • AP manager
  • AR Manager
  • Multiple AR and AP specialists

The timing made it harder. This hiring project required placements near the holidays, in a competitive talent market, with a hard deadline: all roles needed to be filled within 60 days to support the transition.

Traditional recruiting models, such as contingency firms, retained search, or internal hiring, would have been too slow, too expensive, or both.


Our Solution

The organization partnered with Hueman to execute a high-volume, time-sensitive hiring initiative under a flat-fee model.

Hueman deployed a dedicated recruiting team to:

  • Build a targeted sourcing strategy for the Atlanta market
  • Run multiple searches in parallel across leadership and staff-level roles
  • Maintain speed and consistency during a compressed hiring window

Rather than charging percentage-based fees, Hueman structured the engagement on a flat-fee-per-hire basis, allowing our partner to scale hiring without runaway costs. The company partnered with Hueman through our Subscription Recruitment Program to effectively outsource its recruiting function without adding internal headcount.

Hueman became their embedded, go-to recruiting partner, providing both execution and infrastructure.


Results

Within 60 days, Hueman successfully filled all required accounting and finance roles, including:

The shared services team was fully staffed on schedule, enabling our partner to execute its centralization strategy without operational disruption.

This engagement demonstrated Hueman’s ability to execute where speed, volume, and cost discipline intersect.

For our partner, our partnership delivered:

  • Rapid build-out of a critical shared services function
  • Predictable, flat-fee pricing at scale
  • Successful execution during a traditionally difficult hiring period

The result was a fully operational finance organization, built on time and on budget, without lowering standards.
