Can you recommend a recruitment agency? (esp. for accountants)

Title says it all.

 

I am trying to register with agencies before I move to Australia, so can anyone help with the names of recruitment agencies that deal with accountants?

 

Something I have noticed is that some (perhaps most) agencies do not like have CVs or resumes sent "on spec". Is this typical?

 

Regards,

 

M.

Hi Mike,

I would also be interested to see if they have specific agencies mainly for accounting roles. I have searched online but its just the general ones like Hudson, Hays etc.

 

I am going out in March for a trip, and plan to drop in and see some recruitment consultants and hand in my CV, and to ask for advice on how best to prepare myself for the Australian job market.

 

Where and when are you planning on going? I was given the name of a recruitment consultant on the Gold Coast from a colleague who he got a job for over there, but I've emailed him and had no response. I thought it best to wait til I'm out there.

Hi Mike

 

The recruitment market has experienced over 40% shrinkage in the past 6 months so a lot of the great consultants have gone so unfortunately its a case of trail and error.

 

In the current market a lot of agencies will ignore your resume unless you are on the ground or at the very least with an arrival date; often this isnt personnel but you get 100's of applications from unsuitable candidates everyday and simply dont have time to waste figuring out who's legit & who's not.

 

Have you gone to the careers down under expo? Often for accountants they send recruiters over to them... I think a series just finished in the uk...

 

As a start look at the big agencies, Hudson, MPage, Robert Walters, Robert Half, Hays they all have specialist teams in accounting. Where are you looking to be based? There are a number of boutique agencies who are great but limited in the area they service.

Marble group have just started up an accountancy recruitment arm in Sydney. Not sure if their other offices have one though. You would need to speak to Steve.

Hays are an agency that deals with accountacy - they have offices in the UK as well as here in Australia. Also Michael Page are here.

 

You can register with them before coming out here but none really do much for you until you are actually here!
