I’ve spoken to 4 different recruiters and they’ve all aggressively promoted Siegfried and CFGI. Why do they keep promoting them? It makes me wonder how much commission these firms are paying recruiters

CFGI has had great growth, recapped their PE sponsor last year and is building out actual service lines. Great firm and highly recommend for the go-getter. Siegfried on the other hand is a glorified staffing firm and culture is toxic. Avoid

Because when times are tough, companies start using contractors more and more. Reach out if you want a referral- we can split the incentive if you get hired

funny

Don't do it!! It's a trap!

Most firms aren’t really using external recruitment at the moment, so options for recruiting firms are limited. The days of 30% for finding employees are over right now.

Yeah. But I mean, aren’t accounting contracting/consulting firms just a step to industry for most? At least it was for me. It was a good 18months to get some industry experience for me before landing current job.

A recruiter said Siegfried is their biggest client so I’d say a boatload.

I interviewed with Siegfried last year. Went through like 4 rounds of interviews, then they said they didn’t have capacity to hire at my level. But I got $200 out of it lol
