Not having enough tax professionals on staff meant that Pine & Company CPAs was turning down work. They needed help attracting high-quality tax pros who would fit with their professional approach and highly intentional corporate culture. We worked with Pine to update their careers page and arm the recruiting firm with the words they would need to pursue and convert high-quality candidates.
The same messaging principles that attract customers can be used to attract employees. We developed a message that could be used across all hiring initiatives.
Worthwhile employees will check out your website. Reward their effort with a page that’s written especially for them.
Candidates are interested in much more than compensation and benefits — especially if they’re going to leave their current position for a new one. This piece is KEY to your success.

I’m networked with dozens of other CPA firms who are turning away client work because they don’t have enough staff. I’ve told them to hire GUIDE to create all of their hiring content.
