#WeAreGreenKey: Spotlight on Mariam Abdallah  

Welcome back to #WeAreGreenKey, where we shine a spotlight on our powerhouse recruiting team.   

Mariam Abdallah, Recruiter on our Accounting and Finance team, brings over three years of experience in recruiting, with a specialization in the accounting and finance sectors. Throughout her career, she has developed a keen understanding of the industry’s unique demands and challenges. Mariam’s journey in recruitment has been marked by a dedication to helping professionals find their ideal roles and supporting businesses in building strong, effective teams. 

What inspired you to pursue a career in accounting support/financial services recruitment? 

Originally, I was a health major, but a friend pointed out that I had a great personality for recruiting. At the time, I had no idea what recruiting even was, but I decided to give it a try. I eventually found myself in the field of accounting and finance recruiting, discovering a passion for helping people navigate these complex areas. Working with accounting and finance professionals, I realized how crucial their roles are in running a business. This experience allowed me to learn about their work and appreciate the intricacies of their field. I fell in love with the process and decided to stick with accounting and finance. It’s incredibly rewarding to support these professionals and contribute to the success of businesses. 

What do you enjoy most about your job? 

What I enjoy most about my job is definitely the relationship aspect. Helping people and creating meaningful connections is incredibly rewarding because, at the end of the day, you’re assisting them in providing for their families or themselves. It’s a feel-good moment for both parties. These relationships often lead to referrals and continued support, whether from friends or family. Being there for them, listening, and supporting them from day one is the best feeling ever. It’s all about being able to say thank you and knowing you’ve made a positive impact. 

How do you stay updated with the latest trends and changes in the industry? 

I find online resources incredibly helpful, especially ChatGPT. Despite some mixed feelings about it, ChatGPT provides valuable assistance. Additionally, talking to people in the industry is crucial. They offer the latest information on salaries and market trends. Engaging with people in the market is the best way to get accurate and reliable information. 

What strategies do you use to find and attract top talent in the accounting and financial services sectors? 

To find and attract top talent within the accounting and finance sectors, it’s crucial to understand what candidates are looking for. Even during the initial call, gathering insights from candidates, even if they aren’t a fit for the current role, is valuable for future placements. Many accounting and finance professionals experience burnout, so understanding their needs and providing what they seek is key. Flexibility, work-life balance, and career growth opportunities are often top priorities. While many are returning to on-site work, focusing on the benefits that matter to them can make a significant difference. By addressing these needs, we can better attract and retain top talent who are looking to advance their careers. 

How do you balance the needs of your clients with the career aspirations of the candidates you work with? 

Balancing the needs of clients with the aspirations of candidates often involves educating the client about the current market. Clients sometimes seek very niche skills, so it’s important to provide them with realistic expectations. We present multiple candidates for the same role and gather feedback to understand why a candidate may not be a fit, even if they seem ideal. This feedback helps us advise the client on potential flexibility, such as considering hybrid roles. Educating clients about market realities and available talent helps in finding the right fit, even if it takes longer. 

What trends are you currently seeing in the accounting support/financial services job market? 

Besides the return to the office trend, another significant trend in the accounting and finance industry is the preference for remote work. Many professionals feel they can effectively perform their roles from home since their work primarily involves numbers. Additionally, candidates are seeking higher salary ranges, aiming to maximize their earnings in a competitive market.

Green Key Unlocked: Accounting & Finance Experience in the Staffing Industry

In a world where change is constant and opportunities abound, professionals in accounting and finance are increasingly seeking new paths to channel their skills and expertise. Transitioning from a traditional accounting and finance role to a career in accounting and finance recruitment offers an exciting opportunity to embrace change and chart a new course towards professional fulfillment and success. We caught up with Antonia Piazza, Recruiter on our Accounting and Finance team to discuss her journey of transitioning careers and share advice for other professionals who might be considering how their experience can transfer into a recruiting career.

Antonia shared a little on how she got into Accounting and Finance recruiting, saying, “I was looking to relocate to Pittsburgh, so I spoke with a GKR recruiter about accounting openings in Pittsburgh, and, after speaking about accounting roles, she mentioned the possibility of recruiting. I was honestly surprised I hadn’t thought about that career path sooner, as it seemed like a perfect fit given my accounting foundation and appreciation for working with people.”

Understand the Recruitment Process

“There was definitely a learning curve when I transitioned out of accounting and into recruiting,” said Antonia. So, before diving into recruiting, be sure to familiarize yourself with the recruitment cycle. Understand how recruiters source candidates, conduct interviews, and evaluate qualifications.

Assess Your Accounting Knowledge

When asked how her accounting experience has helped her, she said, “I was excited to learn and grow in these ways, and my foundation in accounting continues to be very useful today.”

Your accounting background is an asset. Use it to your advantage by understanding the specific skills and qualifications needed for accounting roles. This knowledge will help you identify suitable candidates.

Learn About Recruiting

Study the basics of recruiting. Explore topics such as candidate sourcing, resume screening, and interview techniques. Consider taking online courses or attending workshops related to recruitment. Antonia adds, “I had to learn about our clients, the accounting and finance functions across different industries, the markets in different cities across the US, and a lot about sales, especially relating to interactions with candidates.”

Network with Recruiters

Connect with experienced recruiters in the accounting field. Attend industry events, join professional associations, and participate in online forums. Learn from their insights and experiences.

Build Relationships

As an accounting recruiter, building relationships is crucial. Cultivate connections with accounting professionals, both active job seekers and passive candidates. Understand their career goals and aspirations.

Develop Soft Skills

Recruiters need excellent communication, negotiation, and interpersonal skills. Practice active listening and empathy. Be persuasive when discussing job opportunities with potential candidates.

Leverage Technology

Use applicant tracking systems (ATS) and social media platforms to streamline your recruitment process. Familiarize yourself with tools commonly used by recruiters.

Understand Job Descriptions

Study accounting job descriptions thoroughly. Know the specific skills, certifications, and experience required for different accounting roles. This knowledge will help you match candidates effectively.

Learn About Industry Trends

Stay updated on accounting industry trends. Understand emerging roles (such as data analytics in accounting) and the skills in demand. This knowledge will make you a more effective recruiter.

Join Recruiting Agencies

Consider working for recruiting agencies specializing in accounting and finance. Gain practical experience in candidate sourcing, client management, and job placements.

Remember that transitioning to a recruiting career requires continuous learning and adaptability. By combining your accounting expertise with recruiting skills, you’ll be well-prepared for success as an accounting and finance recruiter.

#WeAreGreenKey: Spotlight on Olivia Eberle

Welcome back to #WeAreGreenKey, where we shine a spotlight on our powerhouse recruiting team. 

Recently, we caught up with Olivia Eberle, Recruiter on the Accounting and Finance team at Green Key. Olivia started her recruiting career at Green Key about a year ago after she transitioned from a career in public accounting.

Can you share your career journey and how you progressed to your current role?

Sure. After I got my Bachelors in Accounting, I started my accounting career in public audit with a firm that no longer exists and after spending some time there I realized that accounting might not be for me, so I wanted to try a different route. That’s when a recruiter from Green Key reached out to me about an accounting role, which I ended up working in for about 6 months. That role helped me solidify my thought that accounting was not for me, but I still wanted to use my degree. So, I reached out to my recruiter from Green Key to ask about recruiting and now I am here.

What have been some of the most rewarding aspects of your career? 

Even though I had to learn the sales side of the business, there are a lot of rewarding aspects to my career. Firstly, I love being able to help candidates who are looking to change not just their career or role but their lifestyle. I love that I can help them take their careers to another level and I can successfully place them in a role that will help them reach whatever goal they want to achieve. Another rewarding aspect is the fact that I can be my authentic self in this job. It’s very nice to be able to work in a role where I can express my personality and connect with people every day.

How do you balance the use of AI technologies with traditional recruitment methods in accounting and finance, ensuring a human-centric approach while leveraging the benefits of automation and data-driven insights?

I use ChatGPT almost every day for a couple in a couple of different ways specifically for searches and when I am recruiting for a new role. I also use LinkedIn recruiter’s AI tools that are really helpful when it comes to building searches, so I use those and then I also go back to ChatGPT. I use ChatGPT sometimes with resume writing because I really like helping my candidates with their resume. Some people just have never had resume guidance, which is something that I received at my college.

What advice would you give to candidates looking to stand out in the accounting and finance job market?

To candidates, I would say your resume is the thing that makes the first impression, so spend a good amount of time writing it and have a couple of different resumes on file. Especially, if you’re looking for different types of jobs, for example somebody like me, coming out of public accounting looking to go to private. There are a couple of different tracks that you can go on and you can write your resume in a couple of different ways to be a little bit more tailored to each. Additionally, I think that being yourself in interviews is really important. A lot of people don’t realize that even though they are working within accounting, which at times can be very solitary work you have to be interactive, and I think candidates are more successful when they’re willing to step outside of the box.

How do you stay updated on changes and developments within the pharmaceutical industry to better serve your clients and candidates?

I have a few main ways, I follow probably hundreds of companies on LinkedIn, some of which are our clients. I’m also a member of different CPA Society groups on LinkedIn where people will talk about different changes to the CPA exam or changes to audit guidance or tax guidance that kind of helps me stay in the know. I also use Reddit, there are a lot of accounting and finance pages on Reddit where I hear or read about things like layoffs before, they are public or, if there’s a merger happening sometimes like somebody will post it on Reddit before you even hear about it in the news. Lastly, I read a lot of news publications like the New York Times and Microsoft News like the articles that just pops up on your computer.

Do you have any new professional goals, either for yourself or your team?  

Yes, so in the grand scheme of things, I am pretty new to Green Key but with the growth of our Morristown office I would really love to continue to help others and help find another recruiter or two to join our office. I would also like to continue to help my co-workers develop their skills especially if they didn’t come from an accounting background.
