Accounts Senior – Accountancy Practice

Accounts Senior – Accountancy Practice

Addington Ball has recently expanded our client portfolio into the Shropshire region, supporting a renowned practice in their efforts to grow their headcount.

As part of our market mapping, we draw up a long list of practice professionals through LinkedIn, so we are alerted to any new candidates on the market. As part of this process, we engage and reach out to candidates regularly with the aim of building up a line of communication and helping where possible.

During this reach out, a candidate was eager to explore the market. They were a practice professional that had been at their current employer for several years, so was keen to have that support and guidance throughout the recruitment process.

After a couple of interviews, both parties were keen to move forward, and we ended up with a positive conclusion.
