Scaling Finance Hiring for a Global Gaming Operator

While some of our clients prefer to stay unnamed, we can still share the impact of the work we deliver: real roles, measurable outcomes, and tangible savings.

The Client Brief

A leading international igaming company asked us to support a finance transformation programme by hiring across five key roles. The brief was clear: deliver the hires quickly, maintain quality, and avoid the inflated costs of traditional contingent recruitment.

The Delivery Scope

Across a short delivery window, we completed five finance hires. These spanned management, accounting, and transactional functions. The process was managed through weekly cadence calls with the client’s HR and finance lead, ensuring full alignment on priorities and candidate flow.

The Bullfinch Impact

Using our transparent time-and-materials model, we delivered all five hires in nearly half the time of a traditional agency route! With a total cost saving of over £35,000 for the client compared to traditional agency fees.

Why It Worked

• Collaborative delivery: Weekly calls kept pace and priorities aligned.
• Flexibility: Recruiter capacity scaled with live demand.
• Transparency: Every role tracked, every outcome reported.
• Accountability: Clear ROI on time and spend, visible throughout.

Looking Ahead

Following the success of this finance build, the client has extended our remit to additional UK projects. This partnership will continue to focus on smarter hiring; combining transparency, data, and pace to achieve consistent results across business functions.
