About Us
C. Bridges Associates is a nationwide financial and accounting recruiting firm. We serve highly skilled financial professionals and companies with challenging finance hiring needs. Our goal is to make matches that work for both parties.
We work on full-time permanent positions, on a contingency basis only.
Tools & Touch
Financial recruiting is both science and an art.
It can be very black and white. Maybe your company needs a CPA with 5 years of higher education experience. Our online tools can help you find that person.
But a search is usually more complex than that. For instance, what if the same CPA you're looking for needs to be a certain kind of leader, too? Identifying good candidates at that level takes a conversation, and a handshake. It takes a professional with the training and experience to uncover the real person behind the resume.
Our placement counselors spend their days meeting with people, looking them in the eye, to understand their skills and needs. Armed with the data our tools provide, and with the real-world insight they've developed as experienced recruiters, C. Bridges Associates Counselors help companies identify the right set of candidates, faster and more efficiently than those companies ever could on their own.
It's through this combined application of art and science that C. Bridges Associates is able to deliver hiring value that's truly unique.
The Power of Teams
The vast majority of our industry works on a proprietary model. Recruiting is a business that's all about putting together relationships — so it can be quite lucrative to be the one guy who holds the keys to the right series of connections. That's why recruiters can seem so secretive and sometimes, even exclusionary. They're simply protecting their source of income.
The problem is, proprietary recruiting doesn't work very well for either job seekers or hiring managers. It limits the range of opportunities for both.
C. Bridges Associates was founded on the belief that our industry could do better.
We're built around the placement team, not the individual recruiter. Resumes, clients and compensation structures are all shared. Hiring managers and job seekers all benefit from across-the-board access, and exposure.
To make sure that we stay true to this philosophy, we've built our company around a strict approach to our own hiring and career development practices. Our system can only work if it's in the right hands.
Record of Success
Over the years, C. Bridges Associates has grown at a rate of over 30% a year. Along with our affiliated agencies, we've grown to more than 50 different practice groups, in cities all over the country.
