How We Work With You

The right executive is more than someone with skills and experience; it’s someone who shares your company’s vision and can take your business forward. As a renowned executive recruiters in Utah, we have the resources and tools to seek out the most qualified candidates for your executive search.

DIRECT HIRE PLACEMENT

For companies building their permanent accounting team. We handle the full search from intake to offer negotiation — so you can stay focused on running the business.

RETAINED EXECUTIVE SEARCH

For CFO, VP Finance, and Director-level roles where precision matters. Our 100% retained search completion rate is our track record — we don’t take on searches we can’t close.

CONTRACT & INTERIM SUPPORT

Need accounting coverage during an ERP implementation, parental leave, or a growth surge? We place contract accountants and interim controllers across Utah.

Results That Speak for Themselves

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

On your own, expect 3–5 months. With Recruiting Connection on a retained search, we typically deliver a qualified shortlist within 2–3 weeks — because we approach employed, passive candidates directly rather than waiting on inbound applications. The interview-to-offer phase adds another 2–4 weeks depending on your internal process.

Both. We offer direct hire placement for permanent roles, retained executive search for CFO and Director-level positions, and contract or interim accounting support for coverage during ERP implementations, leave periods, or high-growth surges.

We place across all levels — from CFO and VP Finance down to Staff Accountant and Bookkeeper. Our strongest practice areas are executive leadership (CFO, VP Finance, Directors), corporate accounting (Controller, Accounting Manager), and financial planning & analysis.

Recruiting firms typically charge 20–25% of the placed candidate’s first-year compensation, paid by the employer — not the candidate. For a Controller at $110,000, that’s roughly $22,000–$27,500. Most companies find this offset by reduced time-to-fill, lower risk of a bad hire, and access to candidates who weren’t reachable through a job posting.
