Accountancy Recruitment Vital To Ernst And Young

Fri, 04 Dec 2009

Professional services firm Ernst and Young has revealed that accountancy recruitment remains a key part of its market leadership strategy despite the tough economic climate.

The ‘Big Four’ accountancy firm appointed 12 new direct entry partners during the first quarter of its financial year and said it plans to make further additions to its workforce before Christmas.

Scott Halliday, E&Y managing partner, explained that investing in recruitment will help the company to ensure it continues to offer an excellent service to its clients.

He said: "The appointments underline our commitment to excellence and helping our people and clients achieve their full potential, but also to continually investing in the future of our organisation."

"All of the partners who have joined us since July 1st bring deep sector and cross-border experience to our business, keeping us agile and able to respond to the needs of our global, mid-market and entrepreneurial clients."

Halliday added that three of the new partners were recruited from rival Big Four companies, while the rest were brought in from different sectors.

Rival firm PricewaterhouseCoopers recently underlined its commitment to accountancy recruitment by announcing that it intends to take on around 1,000 graduates over the course of next year.
