Accountancy Practice Recruitment
The market for good people in practice is competitive, let’s face it. They’ve been in short supply since at least the crash of 2008, when the big firms stopped taking on graduates. The battle for talent is fierce and you’ll need to demonstrate that your firm has something special to offer other than just money. With our extensive network of “good finance people” in both industry and practice, we have developed long-lasting relationships with practising accountants and know those that are open to an approach and those that aren’t, saving you valuable wasted time and money trying to do it yourself.
Trusted by industry leaders
Cultural fit, technical ability, desire and overall alignment are what we assess in our candidates on a daily basis. We also innovate constantly in ways to attract candidates, whether that be networking events, writing alluring adverts, the use of prospecting software or other forms of technology and AI.
Above all, we always aim to be consultative, knowledgeable & good fun to deal with.
How our process works
Building long-lasting relationships is how our business has been built, and a key element to this is trust. Trusting that if we work with your firm, we aren’t the type of recruitment company that will then headhunt your people. We believe that short-sighted approach is a sure-fire way to ruining relationships.
Working with just a select few firms at a time, we will advise you on the types of things that candidates are now looking for, and how your firm matches up against those criteria and how your employer brand is perceived in the candidate market.
We can advise on “quick-wins” to make you more marketable, but also give you a steer on the types of candidates that we can introduce your firm to.
As you’ll know, patience is a virtue in practice recruitment but in forging a partnership with Headstar, we will work tirelessly to ensure that patience is rewarded.
