Finance and Accounting Professional Search - What Is It & What Do They Do?

What is a Finance and Accounting Recruiter?

As a Finance and Accounting Recruiting Expert, I connect businesses with experienced talent for critical mid-band and senior finance and accounting leadership positions. What does this look like? I recently worked with a venue & event management company specializing in managing stadiums, convention centers, theaters, and unique venues to recruit a Director, Finance Transformation. I presented them with a seasoned finance professional with 20+ years of experience for the position and am pleased to say it was a match!

What does a Finance and Accounting Recruiter Do?

I take over the full cycle of the recruiting process. Having a background in both finance and staffing allows me to get a very clear understanding of what my clients are looking for in terms of technical accounting and finance skills, industry, enterprise resource planning (ERP) experience, expectations. Once the candidates are presented to the hiring manager, they are hire-ready. My clients are able to focus on their day-to-day activities because I have taken the tedious task of recruiting off their plate.

Work Across Specialties and Industries

The need for experienced Finance and Accounting talent goes far beyond the Banking and Financial industry. I work with candidates that possess 10+ years of leadership experience for middle to upper-level back-office leadership roles across all industries, including Manufacturing, Government Contracting, Service, Pharma, Non-profit, and publicly traded companies, among many others.

These candidates take on direct hire corporate finance roles in fields such as:

  • Accounting
  • Financial Planning & Analysis
  • Compliance
  • C-Suite
  • Tax
  • Treasury
  • SEC Reporting
  • Audit
  • Procurement
  • Operations
  • Payroll
  • Pricing

#OrionChat on Recruitment Process Outsourcing

Recently, we hosted a live #OrionChat on Twitter, @oriontalent, with Talee Brock, VP, Business Development at Orion Talent. In case you aren’t familiar with the concept, a tweet chat is a live conversation on Twitter to discuss a specific topic.

Recruitment Process Outsourcing - What is RPO?

This month’s tweet chat focused on Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) and how this talent solution can address hiring needs. Talee joined the chat to discuss how she works with clients to design Talent Programs and RPO solutions that support their unique Talent Acquisition needs.

She answered questions on topics including the common recruiting roadblocks that RPO can address, the talent metrics that improve with the implementation of RPO, and examples of RPO in action, among others.
