Hello, recruiters on the bowl. Simple and straightforward question for you - what makes you decide against a candidate? What's the biggest red flag for you while you're looking for potential talent? I've been finding it super hard to get past the first round and I'm not able to figure out what could be the reason I am not a good fit for so many different companies!

It's usually the typical reason that a candidate's experience doesn't align closely with the job requirements. That's a significant hurdle. But the only thing I'm particularly picky about is candidates with clear communication. I think it is crucial in accounting, so when I come across candidates who struggle to articulate their skills or experience effectively often face challenges.

Are you making it past the initial phone screen? If you're making it to the first round with actual people in the company and not getting called back, then it's not your experience per se. It's 100% how you're coming across in the interview and the content of your answers.

Hello all, for those working in an agency. I wanted to see what your typical client workload is? I’ve been in my role for about a year but the workload has changed dramatically without hiring help.

Can you please share:
- the number of accounts you manage
- how many support staff you have on those accounts
- how many active pitches you send per month for those clients on average

Thanks all!
