Recent success story for Joanne:

A global manufacturing company had been trying to fill a niche Financial Controller role for months, but despite their best efforts, the right candidate just wasn’t materialising. That’s when they turned to VANRATH and together, we took a more collaborative approach. By working closely with their team to understand the finer details of the role and what would truly make someone successful in it, our Associate Director, Joanne Gordon, was able to tap into her network and identify a highly experienced candidate within just three weeks. The candidate was also looking for a role that offered better work-life balance and a shorter commute so it ended up being a great fit on both sides! The result? A key hire secured for the client, and a new role that gave the candidate the challenge they were looking for — without sacrificing personal time.

Candidate testimonials:

"Joanne was great throughout the entire process. Kept in touch at every step of the way providing solid information and acted as a perfect conductor between myself and the hiring company. Would highly recommend!"

"I worked with Joanne when searching for a new job and she couldn't have been more helpful. She guided me through different options, didn't push me into a job I was not interested in, and were quick to respond to any queries I had. She ensured I was prepared for my interview and kept me up to date with the status of my applications. Joanne helped me find a job which I am very excited to start and can't recommend the team enough!"

"I have been fortunate to work with Joanne at VANRATH over several years and more than one job move. She was interested in understanding my individual career objectives and ensuring I got the right fit, and never put me forward for a role I wasn’t comfortable with. She helped me navigate the strange world of interviewing remotely over Zoom and was always on hand for advice and feedback. I couldn’t fault anything about Joanne or VANRATH and would highly recommend them if you’re looking for a role in finance / accounting."

"This is my second experience with VANRATH and, as before, the professionalism and sincerity of the team is impeccable. Joanne found a perfect fit for my skillset, led me through the recruitment process and this resulted in an offer I was thrilled to accept. I would recommend your service to others."

"Whenever I move jobs I make VANRATH my first call. Service is always excellent and they have a good range of jobs. In my most recent job move Joanne was great in finding a role that I was looking for, and was excellent at keeping me informed of progress throughout the process. Their feedback is always prompt and professional, and I would highly recommend them to anybody looking to take the next step in their career"

"Joanne is very personal and targeted in her approach, I was only ever sent jobs specific to my criteria and was not inundated with unsuitable vacancies. Joanne is incredibly approachable and has a very impressive knowledge of Northern Irish companies and Accounting professionals. I would not hesitate to recommend her and am very grateful for the opportunities she has provided me so far."

"Having worked with Joanne Gordon at VANRATH, I highly recommend VANRATH both from an organisation viewpoint and as an individual. VANRATH will seek candidates who match your organisation's role criteria, and they will also seek out candidates who are currently not job hunting but are on their records -if they feel a certain candidate is a good fit for a particular role in your organisation. From an individual perspective they will only place you in roles that they feel will be a fit in terms of skill and culture/values. From my experience of working with VANRATH I highly recommend them as a recruitment agency and in particular recommend Joanne as an excellent agent."
