At Sheridan Maine, we go beyond traditional recruitment. As a specialist accounting, audit, and tax recruiter, we don’t just match candidates with roles - we provide actionable insights from real people in the industry. Every year, our candidate and client surveys capture trends, challenges, and opportunities, giving participants and readers valuable guidance on career and hiring decisions.
This year, our research highlights real and meaningful changes in the job market, with the status quo being challenged in three key areas. Summer surveys reveal shifts in staffing supply, while our end-of-year client surveys shed light on hiring trends for the year ahead. The insights we gather are practical, people-driven, and highly relevant, making them well worth considering in today’s ever-changing market.
For those seeking a deeper dive, our consultants provide short presentations, sharing first-hand experiences from daily interactions with professionals across the sector. While we cannot name individuals, we can provide clear examples and tangible guidance on emerging trends. At Sheridan Maine, we believe that sharing knowledge and offering real-world insights is what truly sets us apart, helping both clients and candidates navigate the only constant in life: change.
