Below you will find recommendations on selecting an accountant for the company taking into account the specifics of the candidates, methods and criteria for evaluating candidates for the position of accountant, answers to questions: where to find accountants and how to search, how to find a good accountant. With the Rental Accounting Services Morayfield you can find the perfect set of service now.

When selecting an accountant, it is necessary to clarify where the office is located, how far from the metro (how to get there by public transport), as an additional motivator, you can use the comfort of the office itself.

It is necessary to clearly understand what the candidate will and will not do, whether it is planned to travel to the funds.

When presenting a vacancy, the first thing that can be said is where the office is located (often the conversation ends there, it’s insulting to “crucify” for 15 minutes, and then hear that 40 minutes in the subway is far away). Further clearly indicate the area of ​​responsibility, answer questions. Accountants do not really like “multi-stage” meetings (with an agency recruiter, with a company recruiter, and only then with a manager), so if you have the opportunity to talk in detail on the phone, it will be great. Additionally, you can motivate by the fact that after a meeting with a recruiter, you will immediately go to the head.

The Options to Find the Accountants

Where to find accountants - on working sites and posted there. If this is an area or remote areas - you can try to place on local sites or message boards.

There are usually many responses, but not all of these candidates are of sufficient "quality" + they often respond, but do not remember the details at all, so that by phone the presentation becomes the same as for new candidates. In an active search, I would advise you to choose candidates who live nearby or those who are comfortable traveling (one mode of transport, no transfers).

Selection criteria by phone - knowledge of the necessary areas (account) of accounting, experience working with them, experience working with funds, knowledge of a foreign language (if required), size of organizations in which the person worked. In general, listen to how a specialist answers whether he is making contact or is completely closed. It was mentioned above that it is important for candidates, on which side it is worth “submitting” a vacancy to them.

In face-to-face communication, be prepared for some closed candidates and monosyllabic answers. Most often, they do not always understand why they are talking with you, if you do not understand anything in accounting, therefore they answer very formally. A recruiter needs to be guided and focus on personal criteria, whether this person needs to communicate with employees, be the one who “defends” the company before tax audits (stress resistance is needed), etc. If this is a chief accountant, test people management skills. Often, accountants are not the best managers, and their subordinate is a person who makes separate sections, in fact, they do not overlap.
