Our Chicago Accounting & Finance practice is up to 6 full desk recruiters (I'm looking to hire 1-2 more this year!) and while we focus on the local Chicago market we have the resources to conduct national searches. Our national search comes from referrals or our trusted Chicago connections who relocate to other markets and reach out to us for help. One recent example is a placement for a Manager SEC Reporting in New York. Here was the feedback from our CFO: "The team executed a challenging search in a new market after local recruiting firms could not deliver for us. First time working with Liz (I've known Josh for years) and she was great. Specifically, being thoughtful with the candidates she presented (and DIDN'T present), managing the interview process with our HR team and helping to pre-close our candidate so that there were no surprises during the offer stage." Great job, Liz! If you have a tough to fill search (in Chicago or otherwise) we'd love to learn more about it and see if we can be a good resource. In addition, our firm has 10 dedicated practices areas so if you're looking to hire outside of Accounting & Finance I will introduce you to the relevant Practice Leader!

You’ve looked at dozens of job postings in your field and finding the right accounting or finance position is beginning to look impossible. Either the job you’ve found doesn’t have a good benefits package or the pay is wrong for your skillsets or the skills needed don’t match what you have. What do you do? How about giving The Robert Joseph Group a call. We work directly with companies looking for exactly the talents you have. #findingtherightposition #jobshopping #gethired #loveyourwork 

There are numerous reasons to consider an external recruiter for filling accounting roles, beyond just the immediate need to fill a vacancy. Here are five: 1 - Access to a broader talent pool, especially those passive job seekers who might be the perfect fit for Assistant Controller and Controller roles.. 2 - The ability to implement flexible hiring strategies that cater to the dynamic needs of your accounting firm. 3 - Industry-specific knowledge that can fill any gaps in your internal team’s expertise, particularly in specialized accounting roles. 4 - Cost and time savings, allowing your firm to allocate resources more efficiently. 5 - A proactive recruitment approach can ensure you're always ahead in attracting top talent in the accounting field.

Top performing accounting and finance professionals don’t surf job boards. Currently in the Accounting and Finance space, hiring isn’t easy. There’s a low inventory and each candidate has multiple options. Is the recruiter you hired looking at every possible option that exists in the addressable market? How do you know?? If you want to know on your next search, book a time to speak with me (link below in the comments).

Are you struggling to find the right candidate for your team? As a business, recruiting the right people for a role can be a difficult and time-consuming process. That's where a recruitment agency can help! 🙌 Consider these benefits: 1. Speed: Recruitment agencies have expertise and connections that can help fill roles quickly, often faster than if you were to do it yourself. 2.

Simple words. “Thank you very much for all your help over the last few weeks, I know it was challenging at times, but I am very pleased with the results” Great way to start a 4-day week and testament to a great working relationship with a superb client. Acknowledging their challenges is one of the key strengths of this client. 👉🏻 They don’t see themselves as the perfect place to work. 👉🏻 They acknowledge and openly discuss things they need to improve. 👉🏻 They compensate for these challenges in other ways rather than being in denial. Predictably, candidates lap this up and appreciate the open conversations.

"Skills can be taught, but attitude cannot" As a recruiter, I look for specific qualities in how candidates present themselves. Do they communicate patiently, professionally, and calmly? Can they see the big picture? Do they follow up and follow through on what they say they'll do? These attributes are crucial, as a candidate's attitude directly impacts the culture and success of an organization. When evaluating applicants, we thoroughly vet these important factors. - Puja Venkataraman, Senior Talent Partner, California People Search Contact us today for your next search with California People Search!

When you meet with a recruiter, are you only meeting for the job you applied to? NO! This is one of the many perks to working with a recruiter. 1. Jobs move very quickly in this market. Lots of companies are working with multiple agencies as well as running their own search. 2. We have a ton of similar jobs, and we continue to get in similar jobs. This makes it easy for us to match your preferences to other jobs we have in the area or when future jobs come up. 3. Sometimes, the job you applied to ends up being the perfect fit. But most of the time, it just gets your foot in the door to chat with a recruiter about your preferences and experience so that when your dream job comes in, we can reach out! Don't hesitate to launch your job search today! 📩 [email protected] Creative Financial Staffing (CFS) #cfstaffing #cfs #accounting #finance #hiringnow #recruiters #jobsearch #jobsearching
