Key hiring challenges for accountancy jobs


At Victus Search, we understand the unique recruitment challenges that hiring managers face in an industry where precision, analytical expertise, and compliance are paramount.

Technical proficiency

Finding candidates who are proficient in the specific platforms or software used by individual clients is crucial to achieving seamless onboarding.

We conduct in-depth interviews and reference checks to ensure candidates have up-to-date knowledge of the software solutions used by our clients.

Certification

Many roles require candidates to have sector-specific certifications, which are not universally common and can be difficult to source depending on location.

We maintain a database of candidates with key certifications and nurture our global professional networks to source these highly qualified individuals.

Soft skills

Accountants are often required to explain detailed financial data to non-experts, so finding strong communicators is also key for hiring managers.

We conduct situational interviews to ensure that our selected candidates can effectively translate complex concepts into easily understandable insights.
