Hiring the right accounting professionals is critical to the success of your firm. After all, if numbers aren’t properly managed, it will have a big impact on your bottom line.
Instead of going it alone during the recruiting process, turn to the experts at Provisional Recruiting. Here are a few frequently asked questions about our accounting division, so you can decide whether we’re a good match for you.
What experience level are the accountants and accounting professionals sourced by Provisional?
As one of the leading accounting placement firms in the Northwest, our team can connect you to experienced professionals with a proven track record. This can include those accounting professionals who hold Master’s degrees, as well as those with many years of experience, depending on your needs.
At the same time, if you’re looking for entry- or junior-level accounting professionals, we can provide them, as well. Our goal is to give you access to a wide pool of candidates who have the level of experience and ability you need.
How long does it take for Provisional to provide one or more suitable accounting candidates?
When you need to hire, it’s often urgent. At Provisional, we understand the pressure you’re facing and the challenges you’re up against. It’s why we can offer you access to top-quality accounting professionals, quickly, when you need them.
Part of our ability to do lies in our expansive candidate network. We have a pipeline of talent who we’ve built relationships with over the years. That means when you come to us to hire an accounting professional, we can quickly match you with pre-qualified candidates, as many as you need, so you can hire the right employee, faster.
What are Provisional’s quality assurance and recruiting methods?
Your business depends on the quality of the people you hire. As one of the top accountancy recruitment agencies, Provisional understands this. It’s why you can count on us for quality assurance guidelines that we’ve developed around the accounting industry’s unique demands, giving you total confidence in our process. They include:
- Comprehensive screening that includes several face-to-face interviews, as well as checking at least two work-related references
- Pre-employment testing, including an industry-specific skills exam and drug screening and criminal background checks when required
- Verification of state licenses
- Insuring all temporary or contract accounting employees for malpractice and liability
In addition to these quality assurance guidelines, we also take a multi-faceted approach to recruiting. This enables us to access a wider range of candidates who are both active and passive, finding the talent you need, faster.
Some of the ways we do that are through online recruiting, social media advertising, industry referral networks, professional organization memberships, referrals from past candidates and employees, outplacement services, trade shows and career fairs, and college job placement services.
What types of staffing services does Provisional provide?
As one of the Northwest’s most trusted accounting and finance recruitment agencies, Provisional knows you need to be flexible in today’s business climate. It’s why we offer a range of recruiting and staffing services, depending on your needs. These include:
- Temporary staffing for positions where you need an accounting professional for a short-term period of time, such as to cover maternity or sick leave for a full-time employee.
- Contract-to-hire, which enables you to test out an employee for a set period of time before deciding whether to extend a full-time offer.
