NewswireTODAY - /newswire/ - Romford, Essex, United Kingdom, 2014/07/03 - Careers in Practice, the job board that exclusively works within the Accountancy and Legal market, is proud to announce their website has now launched - CareersInPractice.com.

The site owners were aware that highly skilled qualified accountants, tax experts and lawyers are in short supply so decided to create a central platform for firms and specialist recruiters to highlight the widest range of practice vacancies in the market.

Kelly Lambourne, Head of Customer Services said,“Accounting and Legal practices are exciting businesses with a range of great job opportunities on offer. Having spoken to a number of Partners and HR Directors during our research phase, it became clear that they had to use to a number of different job boards and agencies to source these specialist candidates. This is why we decided to create a website that catered for the entire practice, not just one department”.

She adds,“With the downturn of the job market in recent times, candidates have become more cautious in looking for a move. However, many are unaware how much the market has changed in the last 6-12 months and that their skills are more in demand than ever before, creating a growing skills shortage in the sector. This has led to a candidate war with firms doing all they can to attract (and retain) talent. Practices have always set strict guidelines on salary bandings, but firms are getting creative. Signing on bonus’, extra weeks holiday and contractual bonus’ are just some of the things we are now seeing. We are also aware that Accountants and Law firms are having to fish in each other’s pools with the Big 4 and mid-tier firms establishing legal advisory teams. This helped us when deciding to unite jobs from both sectors.

The site is keen to establish itself in the long term and is working with Universities across the country to offer advice and guidance to graduates entering the profession. “With such a skills shortage, firms are expanding their graduate intake and we are keen to help. Our site will be adding a range of tools to assist graduates in securing a position. For example, we are working with one agency who will be offering free one-to-one graduate interview training. This is just part of our ongoing plan to integrate with the entire practice market, from top to bottom.
