In The Recruiters Chair - Rebecca English After working at a small boutique regional recruitment agency, Rebecca made the bold move to London nearly 10 years ago and joined Pro-Recruitment Group. Rebecca began her career at Pro-Tax where she specialised in Tax recruitment, managing a portfolio of public practice clients, with a strong focus across the Big 4 and Top 10, primarily covering corporate and personal tax. Eighteen months ago, Rebecca moved within the business to join Prosero who solely focus on senior-level Partner appointments across accountancy firms. Now, Rebecca recruits across all accountancy firms at Partner level with a specialism in Tax🌟 💼You started in Pro-Tax, recruiting on a contingent level before moving into Prosero, the exec search arm of the business. What prompted the move? There was a significant leap from Pro-Tax to Prosero. I spent 7 years doing contingent recruitment at Pro, becoming part of the furniture. My previos manager at Pro-Tax had set up Prosero, and it felt like a natural progression. My network grew up with me—I now work with people who were clients 8-9 years ago and are now candidates as partners. The move suits me to the core. I love the relationships, discussions, and insights I gain in this role. 💡What is the biggest challenge of moving into Exec Search? Patience! The processes are a lot longer, not always with more steps, but dealing with diaries and timing. Partner movement is crucial to get right for both sides, so the fit and match can't be rushed. This requires patience, but it also means you become much more involved and closer to clients and candidates, valuing them even more. 🚀 What do you enjoy the most working at Pro-Recruitment Group? The people! It's the most genuine reason and a common one you'll hear. The community and support network here are incredible. Recruitment is challenging at the best of times, so having great people around you during tough times to champion you and build you up is invaluable. Some of my closest friends are colleagues from Pro. We've seen each other get married, have kids, and navigate both great and tough times together. 🤝 How has Pro changed over the years in your experience? When I first joined and we were at Greville Street. This era felt like traditional agency recruitment—dynamic, youthful, and full of shenanigans. It had its time and place and its where we learnt our values, before moving to Carter Lane. Moving to that beautiful office marked a significant chapter where we matured as an agency and became much slicker in our operations. Then post-COVID we evolved again and adapted remarkably to the times and is a testament to Pro's flexibility and trust, which are rare qualities. Our ability to evolve has not only retained our team but also reflects our dynamic growth as a business.

Finance and Accounting Recruitment Market update May 2024. 1)A very active April. A busy back half of the month has shown promising signs of an overall strong surge in hiring. Typically April through to August is a particularly busy period; with the new financial year and budgets creating new roles as businesses gear up for the year ahead. April was our best month of the year thus far and shows positive signs of a strengthening market. 2)Transactional market bounce back. We mentioned previously this area had been quieter than other areas which bucked the trend of what we would normally expect to see. We have seen a real influx in transactional level roles especially on a temporary basis, our deep candidate pool of proven temporary workers has enabled swift shortlisting. 3)There is a real premium on quality candidates in the permanent market, they are still proven to be in short supply which explains why more companies are turning to specialist recruiters like ourselves. With companies fiercely competing to hire, having a concise interview process, reacting swiftly and paying the right salary is paramount. Companies understanding and actioning this are winning the hiring race and getting the buy in from this finite talent pool.
