The job search process can seem daunting, taking up a lot of time and energy, and it can be a stressful time for those against the clock to find a new opportunity. Whilst those looking for their next job face many challenges, hiring within public practice is a candidate driven market. This is a fantastic opportunity, but what does it mean?
The ongoing skills shortage across accounting has led to an increase in demand for skilled accountants across all disciplines. This demand has created a hiring crisis across the sector and whilst this is an unprecedented challenge, it presents the optimal time to find the perfect role for you. Firms are competing to attract the best talent and as such, are offering market-beating salaries and benefits, and impressive professional development opportunities.
Let’s explore a recent example of a high calibre candidate being snapped up by a leading accountancy practice, just seven days after we began helping them with their job search.
As part of our support, the team here at Public Practice Recruitment Ltd taps into our expansive network of hiring managers across the UK to match your qualifications, skills, and experience with suitable vacancies. This includes reaching out to our contacts to share the highlights of your CV and get a feel for which firms would be best placed to interview you.
For a talented Client Manager in Surrey, we were able to take them from this initial contact to a job offer in just seven days. By shining a spotlight on their mix of technical know-how and valuable interpersonal skills, we welcomed a wave of interest from highly regarded firms in the South, all vying to secure such a talented candidate.
With the interview arranged and guidance given in preparation, this Client Manager was supported throughout the journey by our hardworking team. What could be a lengthy and stressful process doesn’t need to be. We’re here to help and do the hard work for you. We work with talented candidates just like you up and down the country, making job searching stress free and using our bank of contacts to find the right role for you.
It’s thought that, on average, it takes three to six months to find a new job, with some going through 10 to 20 applications to achieve just one interview. Whilst a one week turnaround is an extraordinary example, the PPR team works around the clock to place candidates quickly and smoothly, and we can help you too.
