Recruiting Top Accounting & CPA Talent can be a real struggle for many owners, which is why we wanted to outline 3 principles and strategies to keep in mind as you look for your next hire. Is your firm struggling to recruit the talent you want (or need)? We talk with many owners who struggle to find talented new hires, while others consistently bring in the “A players” regardless of the location or size of the firm. What’s the difference? When talking to the owners and looking at the statistics, we find that people do not go to work for a firm, they go to work for the leaders of the firm.
And how do Leaders distinguish themselves during a recruiting phase? They look at these three, critical points: 1. Matching Values and Behaviors: Throughout the firm (and especially during recruiting), they try and find prospects and candidates who behave and act in a way that aligns with the firm’s values. Are you looking for individuals who love learning? Or can collaborate with a team? Or can communicate clearly? If so, when you find a candidate who fits the values or characteristics you’re looking for, tell them that’s why they will thrive in your firm. Remember, not every candidate is motivated by an extra $5K that the firm down the street can give them. One way is to show them how they will thrive in a firm that works in a way that not only better serves the clients, but a place where the team enjoys the work. Question: How often do you communicate the type of team you’re building?
