The accounting profession is entering a new era of talent competition. Based on a nationwide survey, this whitepaper reveals how critical skills gaps, rising hiring costs, and rapid AI adoption are reshaping how firms attract and evaluate talent. Traditional hiring models that rely heavily on technical testing and volume recruiting are no longer delivering results. Firms that fail to adapt are already experiencing weaker candidate pools and higher long-term costs.
The firms that are gaining an edge are shifting to precision hiring, prioritizing scarce competencies like critical thinking, communication, and ethical judgment, while embedding responsible AI throughout the hiring process. By modernizing assessment strategies, expanding talent pipelines, and focusing on quality over quantity, your firm can improve performance, strengthen retention, and position themselves for long-term success.
