Payroll Team Given Much Needed Extra Resource

Who did we help? An SME in Cheshire working in the financial sector


An SME providing outsourced payroll services on behalf of clients throughout Staffordshire approached us to help them with their recruitment services to meet increasing demand.


What did they need? They needed Payroll Managers to join busy team


The customer was looking for more payroll account managers to join their busy team as soon as possible to meet the demands of the business. The company was keen to get the new team members onboard as soon as possible so asked for Jayne’s help to give them a quick and effective solution.


Jayne is our recruitment expert for accountancy and finance roles.


How did the recruitment process work


Jayne had worked with the company before so they knew that they could rely on Jayne to give them the type of people they were looking for. Jayne had a great relationship with them, she understood their business so was in a great position to get to work for them straightaway, to identify suitable candidates with the skills set they were looking for.


By becoming an extension of their business, she was able to boost their HR team as and when they needed it most, Jayne was in a fantastic position to provide them with good, experienced payroll account managers. Jaynes knowledge of the sector and the extensive candidate pool available to Appointments Personnel meant that Jayne had no trouble selecting people that she felt would be a good fit for the roles. After shortlisting, pre-assessment, screening interviews by Jayne, these were quickly followed by final interviews of the candidates with the customer. Altogether four additional payroll managers were successfully appointed.


Within 6 weeks of the initial call to Appointments, the business welcomed their four new managers into their team. Another example of a great job by Appointments Personnel.
