I’ve been looking for a senior accountant (industry role) for a few months now, with not much luck. Most of the applications we receive are for candidates with much more experience than what is required. I was expecting to see a lot of Big4 or mid-tier seniors or associates that are looking to move to industry, especially since the news lately is that PA firms are experiencing attrition at those levels. We’re offering competitive pay and great benefits. What gives?

Wait. You’re rejecting candidates because they have too much experience but willing to work at that comp level?

Does your job posting describe the type of candidate you expect to hire? With that level of mismatch, it may convey that the role is more a senior than it truly is.

Vetted by HR doesn’t mean much. In prior economies, you could land applicants with wish-list style postings.

I bring this up because I believe my company makes this mistake.
