The Australian job market for accounting and finance professionals

For hiring managers to find the best candidates within the Australian market they go to the usual job boards and place an ad to find qualified candidates. If the hiring process cannot be completed satisfactorily the hiring manager will seek the services of a finance recruitment person that specialises in accounting staffing.

It is hard to find the best accounting talent amongst job seekers in such a small market like the city you live in because, at any one time, many finance professionals are already in a position they like. Therefore, so many businesses seek the help of an accountancy recruitment agency. There just aren’t enough accounting professionals in the marketplace.

The entire recruitment process to find qualified professionals amongst the candidates provided by a recruiter is based partly on aptitude but also on whether or not a person will fit into the culture of the workplace.

However, hiring a remote-based worker can be mainly based on aptitude and only partly on how they fit into the team. This is because most of the communication, directions of what work needs to be completed are all done via Skype, Zoom, or Google meet. Less importance is based on being an ideal candidate within the workplace and more importance is based on competency and what the business needs.
