Public Practice Recruitment

Considered as a trusted adviser, a feeling of which there is no substitute

Public practice in the early years brings a defined career path and, often, a professional qualification that will open many doors in future years.

As you progress, the profession becomes even more varied. With exposure to many sectors and maintaining knowledge of an ever changing legislation, no day is ever the same. This aside, social interaction and building long term relationships with clients ensues until you are considered a ‘trusted adviser’, a feeling of which there is no substitute.

Market Overview

Even when external factors cause increased uncertainty for both the hiring firm and job seeker, the accountancy practice recruitment market remains undeterred in moving forward with opportunities continually existing across all service lines, all levels within all geographical areas.

Fierce competition to recruit amongst accountancy practices continues with firms having to look inwardly at what sets them apart as the primary choice to potential recruits and the most talented of jobseekers. Embracing the expected norm of flexible work patterns has become a necessary conversation, with recent years witnessing its ascent as a driving force and essential prerequisite for candidates entering the job market. With the technology and communication tools available, what’s the reason not to?!

Audit hiring is very much in demand, with firms needing to offer strong, above-market salaries to secure the best talent. Simultaneously, the demand for experienced outsourcing candidates is on the upswing, compelling firms to explore candidates transitioning from the corporate arena to practice, thereby broadening their pool of options.

If you’re looking for a new job within practice don’t hesitate to reach out to our specialist team. We can confidentially tap into our extensive network and reveal exclusive prospects that may not be publicly listed. We’ll help you find the right role to match your skills and career aspirations.
