About Accountancy & FinanceAccountancy Practice

Challenges: The Accountancy sector is currently experiencing a recovery from recent years of decline and retraction, redundancy and fees being squeezed. We are seeing recruitment within the biggest firms increasing led by a demand for services from Industry. We are seeing a growth in the Core Audit & Tax Sectors, as well as a demand for Corporate Finance practitioners.

The challenge in this sector is that demand for qualified individuals is far outreaching the number available, meaning that average salaries are increasing and the choice of employer for potential candidates is greater than ever before. This pressure on employer means that working with a trusted recruitment partner is now more crucial than ever as retaining employees is as crucial as attracting new employees.

Experience: As specialist recruiters within Accountancy Practice we work closely with the Big Four accountants building relationships within each business stream and at different levels. This allows us to find candidates their next move with the largest employment providers in the sector.

We also work with practices of all sizes ranging from top 10 to Large Independent practices across the UK.

A little about us - At Hudson James Capital Group we specialise in mid to senior level appointments across multiple global markets

Backed Up By The Hudson James Group

We have experience recruiting globally and our consultants have recruited in the following locations: UK & Ireland - Europe - United States - Canada - UAE & Kazakhstan - China

We founded Hudson James Human Capital Group in 2011 with two key aims: To create long-lasting partnerships with our clients and increase the level of talent in three core areas: Consumer, Energy, and Accounting and Finance.

Based in the heart of Leeds, we work in partnership with a range of businesses; from start-ups and SMEs to global multinationals; locating the ideal candidates for both mid and senior level positions.

Our teams work collaboratively in order to provide the highest levels of service and best results which sets us apart from other recruiters. We have a strong mix of experienced senior recruiters supported by dedicated researchers, mapping out markets and obtaining market information.

Each assignment is led by a senior consultant and we feel it is important for you to have the confidence that comes from dealing with an expert in their respective field. We are upfront about fees and happy to discuss arrangements with you personally before starting any process.


Executive Search & Selection

At Hudson James we are able to provide a variety of different service levels to meet your needs, budgets and timelines. We have the flexibility to work with you to get optimum results and often this means using an Executive Search & Selection process which can also be known as a retained campaign/search giving you access to not just the candidates actively looking but those who are passive in the market.

This means working with you closely to find the best candidates possible in the time scales that you need. We appreciate that roles often need to be filled in a timely fashion as they can be business critical and not filling a role could have wide reaching implications, from the loss of an existing client, reduction in production quality or simply increased costs from hiring an interim worker. In certain circumstances recruiting a role such as a Managing Director could be so important that you can’t afford to use traditional recruitment methods where the success is not guaranteed.

As part of a retained campaign we would look to meet with you to understand the role, its requirements, company culture and long term strategy and why someone would want to join you so that we are able to represent you in the best light and attract the highest calibre of candidates. We would agree with you timescales for action, including when adverts would be written, when candidates would be interviewed and how you will handle the process. We will provide you support and advice every step of the way making sure you are competitive in your industry and ensuring that all offers are managed and success obtained.

For a retained campaign we will map out the market, your competitors, companies that you would ideally like to meet candidates from and companies with synergies to yours. We will contact on average 100-150 people then provide you a shortlist of 4-8 people per role and each of the candidates will be exclusively available to you until the end of the assignment. We will contact people that you would not usually have access to who are not actively looking for new roles, the kind of person who is doing well in their current role and could add real value to your business!

This process will usually involve a partial payment upfront so that the risk is shared between Hudson James and you, meaning that we can spend far greater time on retained assignments and you can expect a far higher service level. As part of this we will assign a senior consultant with extensive experience in your market to every search with a dedicated researcher to assist in finding the right people in the timescales you need.
