Advertising & Outreach

We use our extensive range of networks and recruitment platforms to advertise the position to potential high-quality accounting prospects.

CV Screening

Our CV Screening process includes scanning all CVs submitted to the available position and cross checking the completion of the assessment. From this process, all candidates are deemed either eligible or ineligible for the potential role.

In-Person Meeting (Online When Required)

We believe a crucial element of the hiring process is meeting the candidate in person before hiring. In this meeting, we can gain a better understanding of not only their industry expertise but also gauge who they are as a person. Finding an employee that has the correct character and traits that fit your company’s culture and brand is just as important as someone who understands the banking industry and how it operates.

Reference Checking

Next, we will go through each of the successful candidates and contact their references. This would include a list of questioning regarding the candidate’s past, performance, and personality.

Hiring and Aftercare

Our services don’t stop once the candidate has been hired, we offer ongoing aftercare and support to both the client and the candidate. This is to ensure that all parties are both settling in well and are comfortable with their decisions.
