Meet our candidates

We spend a lot of time getting to know our candidates to make sure they have the skills and personalities to succeed on your team. It's a process that helps you reduce your hiring risk and lower your turnover rate. And, while we can't introduce you to every single one of them, you can get to know a few of them right here.

Our candidates are Backed By Fact

Our Qualified-Verified Guarantee is a process that ensures you get candidates who are the best possible fit to help you reduce turnover.

In-depth Interviews

Before you meet our candidates, we interview them in person to make sure they have the skills and personality for the job. And we know what to look for in a great candidate because every one of our branches has staffing experts with real-world accounting and finance experience.

Targeted Skills Assessments

We have over 300 different evaluation courses that measure a candidate's aptitude in key functions such as accounting theory, reconciliations, accounts payable, and more. If they have the skills to handle our assessments, we'll know they're ready to go to work for you.

Comprehensive Verification Checks

You’ll never doubt that every candidate we propose is authorized—and can be trusted—to do the job.

We check at least two references for:

  • Employment dates

We also conduct:

  • I-9 verifications

  • Drug tests (upon request)
