Matching talent to titles with exceptional value
Did you know that we provide recruiting services for our clients who seek top-level financial management positions, such as Controllers or CFOs, as well as entry-level and mid-range positions, including bookkeepers, accountants, administrative support, and even specialized positions such as legal assistants? Serving as trusted advisors and executive search experts, we have helped clients in nearly every imaginable industry fill their key positions with high quality personnel.

Our company had a sudden need to replace a veteran 15-year financial manager. We turned to our accounting firm of many years, Daszkal Bolton, as they were in a great position to help us define our needs. They came through for us! After receiving over 300 resumes and applications, they were able to narrow the field to three highly qualified candidates. Daszkal Bolton guided us to a final candidate with whom we are extremely happy. Susan Kaplan's professionalism and her engaging personality make a terrific combination in a recruiting situation. Asking for Daszkal Bolton's help was the best decision we could have made. The transition to our new financial manager has been quick and effortless. Thank you! Lucy Craske Long, President |
Which came first, the talent or the title?
The primary difference in the way our recruiting services work is that, unlike headhunters, we focus on matching talent to the position, rather than vice versa. Because you are already a Daszkal Bolton client, we are thoroughly familiar with your industry, company culture and goals. We are able to match up the most suited candidates to your particular situation. Our recommendations are tailor-made for your specific circumstances and needs.
Let us do the heavy lifting
It is our goal to take the pressure of recruiting off of you and your key executives so that you may focus on your business at hand. Based on your comfort level, budget and availability, we proudly offer three levels of executive search services for your convenience:
We do a thorough résumé search utilizing online sources and forward you the best résumés we identify that meet your criteria.
In addition to a thorough résumé search of available talent, we also post a customized advertisement for you, utilize benchmarks and screening protocols to narrow down the most qualified candidates, and then perform phone interviews to confirm and verify qualifications. You receive the résumés for the limited number of candidates that make it through this process and take control of the on boarding from there.
- Level 3 – Comprehensive search, screen and recommendation
Once all of the above have taken place, we dig a little deeper with this level of service. We perform in-depth screenings, including face-to-face interviews, background checks and reference confirmations. We may also assist in the development of job descriptions, organizational charts, and other tools and resources for your organization. You are brought in on the process only when the candidates have been narrowed down to the most impressive two or three applicants. We help coordinate your final interviews and make recommendations, but you ultimately make the final hiring decision.

Cost to Hire Time to Hire |
Unconventional candidate pools
Our vast network of contacts allows us access to professionals who may not be "on the market" for a new position and therefore would not be accessible by headhunters or online résumé banks. We also maintain a database of current résumés for a variety of positions and advertise for specific placements to ensure that you receive the highest quality candidate available on (or off) the market.
Unparalleled value and service
Cost is often the leading factor in determining which recruiting source you will employ. While a newspaper ad may cost as little as $100, a recruiting agency may charge up to half the recruit's annual salary just to perform the search. The urgency of the need often affects our perception of a justifiable expense. What needs to be considered in conjunction with the tangible fee is how much your time and energy will cost throughout the process. How much is your time worth?
Our recruiting costs are based upon the actual time it takes to make a successful placement. Due to our large network of contacts, up-to-date database and multi-layered recruiting approach, we are often able to fill your open positions very quickly with professionals who have just the right kind of experience, skills and personality.
We are proud of our above-average industry success rate in placements. Our clients have consistently praised our process, quality, responsiveness and value. We will happily provide references. Ask us for them today!
Your success is our business! We are invested in helping you find the best candidate for your needs. We are confident that you will find us to be the most responsive and valuable source to help you recruit your financial management, accounting and support professionals.
