How to Work with a Specialist Tax Recruitment Agency to Find Your Next Role

A good recruiter isn’t just a middleman, they can be a real force-multiplier: better briefs, faster interviews, stronger offers. Here’s how to make the partnership work for you. 

Be clear about your goals 

The more open you are, the easier it is for your recruiter to put you forward for the right roles. Share your non-negotiables, scope of work, location, hybrid pattern, salary floor, alongside any red lines. This helps us avoid wasting your time and ensures we can negotiate from a position of strength when the right offer comes in. 

Understand your true market value 

You may have an idea of what you should be paid, but the reality is shaped by live demand. We benchmark against current mandates, not outdated surveys, so expect straightforward feedback on salary ranges, job titles, and timelines. Knowing where you realistically sit in the market saves you from chasing long shots or undervaluing yourself.

Put time into preparation  

Securing the right move isn’t just about your technical skills, it’s about how you present them. Your recruiter can help you refine your CV, draw out commercial impact rather than just duties, and even run mock interviews. Treat these sessions seriously: the candidates who prepare hardest usually interview strongest. 

Stay in control of the process  

A good recruiter won’t leave you guessing. You should always know which firms have your CV, when feedback is due, and what the next steps look like. If something slows down, your recruiter should be chasing it. Don’t be afraid to ask for updates or clarity, it’s your career on the line. 

Think partnership, not transaction  

The best recruiter-candidate relationships are two-way. Keep us updated if your circumstances change, be open to honest feedback, and respond quickly when opportunities arise. In return, you’ll have an advocate who knows how to get you in front of the right people and secure the best possible offer.
