What are your hiring expectations this fall?
I can’t believe it’s August already. The summer soon will give way to fall when many CPA firms and businesses should be gearing up for campus recruiting. Will fall recruiting be at prior year levels?
Last week, the AICPA launched its newly designed student website, www.startheregoplaces.com, and it looks terrific. As college campuses are seeing accounting graduates in record numbers, it’ll be more important than ever to go out and recruit the best and brightest to make sure we continue to fill the talent pipeline of new CPAs.
Your organization is probably fully staffed right now, no matter how big or small, there’s talent out there that can help. CPA firms still have the ability to post jobs for free on the AICPA’s CPA Job Finder. If you have a job to post, email pcps@aicpa.org for the instructions for the CPA Firm free job post.
Even if you are fully staffed today, it is critical to our profession to move students out of the graduate pipeline and into the work pipeline. Small firms who may not have been in the recruiting game before should consider getting into it now. The AICPA’s Private Companies Practice Section (PCPS) has extensive resources to help CPA firms of all sizes with their recruiting needs. The PCPS Human Capital Center has a Recruiting Section for its member firms with tools and resources. There is also a preview into those tools and resources in the PCPS Human Capital Series Toolbox.
Let us know what your CPA firm or organization is up to this fall. Do you anticipate hiring the same, more or less new recruits than last year? Post a comment.
