Is it realistic to expect to find a Senior-level candidate with a CPA for an industry role? We’ve posted a fully remote position, and given the current job market, I anticipated a strong applicant pool. However, we've only received a handful of applications so far—and none from candidates who already hold a CPA.

What type of role in industry?

We really need our seniors on POAs.

What type of tax and why CPA? Just because they hold a cpa do they know better than someone who doesn’t. Personally I know many cpas who are worth it

Yes-it matters obviously in this profession.

i’m a senior tax accountant with a CPA! can i dm you about the role? i have loads of experience in provision and compliance

Ohio is on the list. It was posted 2w ago in that bowl with the job title and link.

Is the job description a turnoff? Run the job description through an AI tool with a properly structured command and see what it suggests. I am a job-hunting CPA, and I will not consider any opening with a train wreck for a job description. A major NO? When the employer reveals a blind focus on a very specific tool set. Why? Because employers who cannot understand that experience across many similar tools illustrates valuable diversity, shows that that they view “other” human beings as fundamentally stupid, unable to rapidly adjust and learn. Experience has shown me that such a hiring manager is problematically limited themselves, the kind of person who has memorized precisely what keyboard buttons to push, but has zero understanding of why processes and software do what they do.

I feel like there’s something wrong with your listing or the comp, etc. doesn’t seem competitive to candidates. Usually whenever I see a remote job posted it get 100s of applications immediately.

Yes that's what I expected. We are one of the largest employers in our state, but industry not public accounting. Our HR is not the best and I feel like I'm at a loss of what to do. I don't want to settle when I feel like the job market should be on the employer's side.
