In the midst of the Great Resignation, organizations need continued vigilance when it comes to recruiting job candidates. As it relates to the hiring of CPAs, this episode touches on advice and a new program that can help businesses cast a wider net for talent. Beth Berk, CPA, CGMA, writes in a recent Journal of Accountancy article that “hiring professionals need to go about their recruiting efforts differently than they did in years past.” The article offers reminders and strategies for identifying accounting candidates.
