The Inrock Story

One Accounting Hire,
Three Challenges

Inrock faced a perfect storm of hiring challenges: a tight deadline, a complex role, and a competitive market. Here's how they navigated it.

Immediate Start Required

The new hire needed to be effective immediately to manage a leader's transition.

Business Continuity at Risk

The company's key financial operations couldn't afford an extended vacancy.

Deep Technical Expertise

Advanced knowledge of IFRS and internal controls was non-negotiable.

Specific System Proficiency

Experience with Microsoft Dynamics with minimal ramp-up time.

Talent Shortage in a Tough Market

With the severe shortage of CPAs, finding senior accountants in a hot market can be challenging and take a lot of time.

Speed is Crucial

Not having an efficient interview plan often leads to losing candidates to your competition.
