Purchase Ledger Clerk - FMCG
Purchase Ledger Clerk - FMCG Food Manufacturing:
Addington Ball exclusively supported a local, family run FMCG food manufacturer in their search for a Purchase Ledger Clerk due to a resignation within the team.
The client initially advertised directly using their own resources, getting inundated with irrelevant applications. After a process of interviewing candidates, they offered a candidate who was later counter offered by their current employer, so the client offered their second choice candidate from their initial interviews, who later went onto reject the opportunity based on location and commute.
After their initial struggles, Addington Ball successfully supported the recruitment of the Purchase Ledger Clerk.
