frequently asked questions
Direct clarity regarding candidate presentation timelines, skill verification, trial guarantees, and permanent conversion paths.
-
how quickly can Randstad deploy a contract accountant or present permanent candidates?
For temporary operational roles (accounts payable, accounts receivable, staff accountants, payroll specialists), we present pre-screened candidate profiles within 24 to 48 hours, with pre-onboarded professionals often starting within two business days. For permanent direct-hire searches (controllers, VPs of finance, CFOs), we deliver a curated short-list of thoroughly vetted candidates within 5 to 10 business days.
-
what is the difference between finance & accounting staffing and finance & accounting project consulting?
Finance & Accounting Staffing delivers skilled professionals—for temporary surges or permanent roles—who embed directly into your organization under your day-to-day managerial direction. Finance & Accounting Project Consulting operates under a formal Statement of Work (SOW) with defined deliverables, milestone sign-offs, and project management handled by Randstad to solve specific technical challenges without daily client oversight.
-
how does randstad test and verify technical accounting skills?
Candidates undergo multi-tier evaluation, including identity verification, standardized GAAP technical assessments (double-entry bookkeeping, balance sheet reconciliations, rev rec), advanced Excel testing (pivot tables, complex formulas, data modeling), and verified employment reference checks with former controllers and finance directors.
-
what happens if a temporary contract professional is not the right fit?
We provide a zero-friction replacement guarantee. If a contract professional does not satisfy your performance standards during their initial trial window, notify your account director immediately. We will replace the individual without billing you for the trial hours.
-
can we transition a temporary contract professional into a permanent employee?
Yes. Our temp-to-perm model allows you to evaluate an accountant’s technical accuracy, speed, and cultural alignment directly on the job before making a full-time offer. Once the agreed contract threshold is met, you can convert them directly to your permanent corporate payroll seamlessly.
