Tired of the daily grind of accounting? Ready to be done with busy season?

Several of our top Executive Recruiters started their careers in accounting. They realized that they wanted more interaction with people and less time staring at Excel, but still wanted to utilize their accounting knowledge.

As an Executive Recruiter, you will focus on developing and maintaining relationships with accounting and finance professionals. 50% of the focus is on client development and 50% is on recruiting and candidate development. You will work collaboratively with your team to manage process for direct-hire placement of Accounting and Finance positions ranging from entry-level to executive level, from searching and prospecting through ensuring successful placements. We are hiring an Executive Recruiter to sell/recruit in the Boston market, but sit in our West Hartford office.
