The specialized search consultants at Southeast TAX Connection are experts in navigating the “hidden market” for tax talent. Most tax professionals are too busy contributing to their current organizations to search the job boards or post their resumes. They rely on relationships with recruiting consultants to keep informed of career opportunities. Our consultants build long-term relationships with tax professionals, tracking their long-term career development and networking for referrals to other tax professionals who are open to new opportunities.
Passive Candidates
We do not source tax candidates from job boards or advertise to collect resumes. Your organization already has an HR Department to do that for you, and we encourage you to take advantage of your internal resources and referral networks. Our value is producing “passive” candidates you could not find through other sources.
Streamlined Process
Southeast TAX Connection has invested in sophisticated recruiting software tools that enable us to track data on thousands of tax professionals through the Southeast Region. This streamlined process gives us the tools to search our database by tax Skills (federal/state income tax compliance, tax provision and reporting, international tax, planning and research, audit and controversy, sales & use, property tax, fuel and excise, and tax technology); Career Levels (analyst, senior, supervisor, manager, senior manager, director, vice-president); and Target Locations (both in their current metro areas and targeted cities for relocation).
Market Research
Southeast TAX Connection tracks corporate news about mergers, acquisitions, and relocations, to identify tax professionals in transition. For example, Scripps Networks in Knoxville was acquired by the Discovery Channel; Red Hat Software in Raleigh will be acquired by IBM; Arris Group in Atlanta will be acquired by CommScope; and NCR Corporation moved its headquarters from suburban Atlanta to Midtown, changing the commute patterns of 5,000 employees. Many affected employees are offered Retention Agreements, which we systematically track on our calendar in order to follow up with candidates as they get close to completing their obligation and are ready to re-enter the job market.
Client Service
The key to our high level of service is our consultative approach with our clients based on open and thorough communication throughout the search process. Our commitment is to help you find the highest-qualified candidates for your team. We look forward to working with you.
