Recruitment Case Study around KPI's

When you last recruited a person did you have a clear job description to show them with KPI’s and outcomes?

Case Study: Hiring a company accountant

A small clothing import and wholesaling business needed to hire an accountant due to growth. Previously a clerk did payables, receivables etc with an external CA doing end of year books.

The recruit needed to be able to:

• Manage staff • Write cheques • Collect debtors • Prepare monthly accounts • But also help unload containers • fix nonaccounting problems • be flexible as to hours

They also had to self-manage, self-start and look at how the financing side of the business could be improved

From this a clear picture of the type of person that was needed could be developed.
