Client Background
Vernalis faced a critical need for a Financial Controller to support Clare Searle, the Finance Director. Being a small finance team within an SME, the challenge extended beyond technical expertise to finding a candidate who could seamlessly integrate into their culture. Cultural fit was a priority for Vernalis, as they sought someone who could embody their collaborative ethos.
Before engaging with us, Vernalis explored internal recruitment options but found them impractical due to time constraints and the need for professional assistance in implementing a comprehensive financial assessment within the interview process. Clare's existing relationship with our Senior Finance Recruiter, Nick Culley, prompted her to engage with our services. Detailed discussions instilled confidence in our expertise, leading to an exclusive engagement.
