Accountancy & Finance Expert Recruitment

There are many advantages of using a recruitment agency for employers. Finding and retaining the right candidates for accountancy and finance roles is getting more difficult every year. To attract the top talent, you need to have a streamlined recruitment process that doesn’t waste any time. The most skilled workers won’t stick around, and sometimes, they aren’t even actively looking for a new role. This is why working with specialist accountancy and finance recruitment experts help.

We have an extensive network of candidates throughout the South West, which means we can offer our clients greater access to the top-tier talent out there. We’ll help you to cut through the noise and identify the individuals who can make a difference to your business.

Accounting and finance recruitment

Accountancy and finance candidates make strategic decisions and may be trusted with the day-to-day running of your business’s finances. So taking the time to find the right candidate for the role is essential. Get it wrong, and you could be facing mistakes that are very expensive to fix. But when you get it right, you can unlock new opportunities within your business.

We help to connect accountancy and financial services businesses with the talent they need to drive their business forward. From accountants and bookkeepers to financial directors and analysts, we can read between the lines of your job requirements to find the perfect candidate for every role.

1. Defining the role. You will be assigned a dedicated consultant to visit your offices and learn more about your company. We’ll ask about what hasn’t worked for you before and what you are looking for in an ideal candidate. This is your chance to ask questions about the recruitment process and learn more about the next steps.

2. Creating the shortlist. Based on the information provided and our research, we will create a shortlist of comprehensively screened candidates for your consideration. By pre-screening candidates, you can be confident you are only meeting with the best of the best. We always provide a summary sheet to help you quickly get to grips with the candidates and their experience.

3. Channel selection. If we need to cast a wider net, we will start by creating a comprehensive job description that will be shared in the places that are most likely to yield positive results. You will have the final sign off on all job descriptions and locations before anything goes live.

4. Ongoing communication. You will be able to contact our team throughout the recruitment process and will also receive a weekly update call to provide you with honest feedback on the success of the recruitment process.
