Hire Candidates with Niche Skills with an Accounting Staffing Firm

The Challenges of Accounting Recruitment

Attracting top talent is challenging. Low unemployment rates and increased demand have created a shortage of qualified accounting candidates. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the May 2024 unemployment rate was 4%1, and there will be around 126,500 new accountant and auditor jobs every year from 2022 to 2032.2

Companies compete to find and hire the most talented accountants at their firms, which may lead to increased:

• Time-to-hire
• Cost-to-hire
• Lower candidate quality, leading to potential unfit hires

Each directly impacts the organization—revenues are eroded with increasing costs, while employee satisfaction and morale are lowered when positions remain unfilled for an extended time. A bad hire—someone not a good fit with the position or the company—is expensive in time and money and adds stress to other employees.

The Benefits of Working with Accounting Staffing Agencies

Working with experienced, reputable accounting recruitment firms can provide your organization with many benefits, including:

• Streamlined recruitment and selection processes
• Access to a pool of talent that may otherwise be difficult to reach
• Accelerated time to hire
• Improved quality of candidates
• Optimized job descriptions
• Screening to ensure the best fit
• Managed digital presence
• Improved branding to reach candidates through a variety of channels

Save your human resources team and hiring managers the time and effort often wasted through inefficient staffing processes. Leverage the expertise of accounting recruiters with in-field experience in the roles they staff.

By pairing organizations with qualified candidates who are the right cultural and technical fit, accounting recruitment firms deliver long-term benefits, including:

• Increased employee satisfaction
• Employee retention
• Decreased turnover
