Milliner Talent Solutions delivered fast, highly targeted finance and administrative hires, easing the load on a lean HR team and enabling critical growth during a pivotal postdivestiture build phase.
The Challenge
Recently divested from a larger organization, a tech officially launched as an independent entity in the summer of 2025. With the business in build mode, speed and precision in hiring were critical.
At the same time, the Human Resources function was being led by a team of one. The chief people officer needed recruiting support she could trust without adding more work to an already overflowing plate.
Key roles to be filled included:
- Controller
- Senior Accountant
- Senior FP&A Analyst
- Executive Administrative Assistant
Each role required candidates with relevant experience, and the searches were focused on the Indianapolis market, making local expertise especially important.
They were on point with understanding what the role was and what we were looking for, and that’s what made the experience outstanding.
The Solution
Quickly immersed in the organization’s needs, Milliner’s team took the time to understand the business context behind the four key roles they were hired to fill. They gathered detailed input and adjusted each search as priorities became clearer.
Milliner focused on:
- Candidates who were carefully vetted for SaaS, operational and other relevant experience
- Providing a concise summary for each candidate highlighting fit, background, and salary expectations
- Providing clear written feedback on thorough reference checks
Throughout the process, Milliner was “on point with understanding what the role was and what we were looking for,” the client said.
The Results
The Milliner team adapted their own workflow to the client’s preferred process — making the partnership seamless.
The CPO did not plan to engage Milliner with the fourth position, an Executive Admin, but after posting the position themselves and being inundated with applications, they quickly reconsidered. Milliner was leveraged to find the right person in a timely manner, relieving the additional burden on their time.
The impact was immediate:
- Four qualified Executive Admin candidates were presented within half a day
- One of those candidates was successfully hired
- Across all four permanent placements, the process moved faster than the client’s past experiences with other recruiters
Compared to firms that prioritize volume over fit, Milliner delivered targeted candidates who were truly aligned with the client’s needs.
Would they recommend Milliner? “Oh, absolutely.”
