Finding the right talent in this tight labor market can be tough. This is especially true when you need an experienced professional who will be responsible, even in part, for your company’s financial positioning. When finance recruitment calls for an expert with experience in the industry and knowledge of the required skill sets, it is time to call in a finance recruiting firm. The Finance and Accounting recruiting experts at Orion Talent go beyond a single placement by developing successful recruiting partnerships across all financial industry skill sets. Read on to learn more about how finance recruitment works.
What does a finance recruitment agency do?
Finance recruiting firms employ accounting and finance recruiters who have access to industry-experienced and passive candidates for entry, mid-band, and senior Finance and Accounting positions. Companies leverage these finance recruiting firms to find talent they would not otherwise have access to. Through long-term network building and industry experience, finance recruiters are able to find the right person for the job, whether it be a Senior Accountant, Tax Manager, or CFO.
Why are finance recruitment agencies & firms able to deliver better quality candidates?
Finance recruitment agencies deliver better quality Finance and Accounting candidates for several reasons. According to Karen Ellis, Director of Finance Recruiting at Orion Talent, candidates are more effectively vetted by an experienced recruiter who can offer a more in-depth assessment of skill sets. These same recruiters also have a stronger ability to identify passive candidates.
How does the process differ between recruiting finance & accounting talent in-house versus outsourcing?
Outsourced finance recruiting can connect you with top talent and industry leaders that you may not find with an in-house recruiting team. Jackie explains there are five main reasons for this:
- Finance and Accounting recruiting firms invest in technology platforms that provide better access for identifying top and/or passive talent.
- Finance and Accounting recruiters offer in-depth assessments and knowledge of technical and soft skill sets.
- Finding the right candidate and closing that candidate is a priority for finance recruiters.
- The best recruiters for finance jobs understand the sense of urgency and offer the ability to move quickly, as they are not distracted by other job priorities.
- Outsourcing your finance recruitment to an agency offers tremendous cost savings due to finding the right candidate the first time, virtually eliminating turnover.
When should you work with a finance recruitment agency versus a finance headhunter?
In the case of Finance and Account Professional Search from Orion Talent, the terms finance recruitment agency and finance headhunter are synonymous. Traditionally, recruiting agencies work with a wide range of candidates seeking new careers and offer a full range of consultation throughout the hiring process to their clients. Headhunters, on the other hand, often find the right candidate for their client, at which point their job is done.
But, at Orion Talent, our clients enjoy the best of both worlds. They are able to leverage the exclusive access to passive, industry-experienced candidates handpicked for higher-level roles while also experiencing a fully consultative relationship with their recruiter.
