Any recommendations for recruiters that specialize in tax?

Recruiters are used car salesmen. Tax is niche enough that you can learn what firms have a comparable tax practice in your city and apply direct. Recruiters will throw your resume anywhere/everywhere, they just want you to get a job so they can collect their fee.

I've always gotten more traction using a recruiter. Just looking to see if there's anyone else good out there.

A good recruiter is an advocate for you and can be very helpful. They have relationships with hiring personnel, inside information about firms/groups (like if they placed someone there in the past) and can offer you guidance on how to enhance your position (such as resume tips). They also take care of the annoying stuff like correspondence and scheduling.

However, it is true that the last thing you want is for a random recruiter mass sending your resume so they get the fee. You need to find someone you connect with and trust. I’ve used a couple who specialize in tax - feel free to PM.

Where are you now (BigLaw/B4?) and where do you want to go? That will also drive the recommendation on recruiter (e.g. law firm placement vs. industry).

Have you ever taken a career slow down? I am feeling burnt out from COVID and the incremental responsibilities thrown my way over the last 5+ years. I feel like my health has deteriorated. I like my company, but I want to do less. I don’t need to be a HR Director, CHRO, etc. With a career slowdown, I am prepared for a lower compensation and would want decent benefits. Any lessons learned or success stories about career slowdowns?

When the IRS (e.g., a RO/AO/Examiner) calls or writes a letter… How do you verify that it’s really the IRS and not a scam?

I don’t think my worry is unfounded due to the tremendous amount of tax/IRS scam out there but it would be nice to hear from some of y’all so that I’m not so worried about it…
