The Challenges of Accounting Recruitment

Attracting top talent is challenging. Low unemployment rates and increased demand have created a shortage of qualified accounting candidates. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the May 2025 unemployment rate for finance-related position is just 2.7%.

Companies compete to find and hire the most talented accountants at their firms, which may lead to increased:

Time-to-hire
Cost-to-hire
Lower candidate quality, leading to potentially unfit hires

Each directly impacts the organization. Revenues are eroded with increasing costs, while employee satisfaction and morale are lowered when positions remain unfilled for an extended time. A bad hire, someone not a good fit with the position or the company, is expensive in time and money and adds stress to other employees.

The Benefits of Working with Accounting Staffing Agencies

Save your human resources team and hiring managers the time and effort often wasted through inefficient staffing processes. Leverage the expertise of accounting recruiters with in-field experience in the roles they staff.

By pairing organizations with qualified candidates who are the right cultural and technical fit, accounting recruitment firms deliver long-term benefits.

Recruiting firms are experienced in finding and placing quality talent faster and more efficiently than in-house recruiting. With access to a large, diverse talent pool of qualified candidates, agencies can partner with organizations to find the right candidate to fill open accounting positions.

Recruiting agencies take the time to vet and qualify skilled candidates, which increases employee retention rates with higher-quality candidates. Hiring firms place job seekers with the intent of finding an excellent fit for both the candidate and the company, ensuring they are a good fit professionally and culturally over the long term. Agencies can also reduce the time to onboard new employees by introducing expectations early into the interview process.

Hiring agencies have streamlined tools and processes to identify, interview, and vet skilled talent, which helps ensure they are a good long-term fit for the matched company and reduces HR costs. Partnering with a recruiting firm frees internal resources and allows HR to focus on big-picture initiatives that drive business growth.

Finance recruitment agencies can also benefit businesses by staying informed on current and future skill needs. The financial industry needs more skilled talent to fill open positions. From 2022 to 2032, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) predicts approximately 911,400 job openings will occur yearly.
