Flying High Before Itís Taken Off

Finding your dream job as a professional auditor has suddenly become a whole lot easier.

Planet Audit is the first global job board dedicated to auditors and is packed full of easy to use features that take the drudgery out of audit job hunting.

ëHaving researched the marketplace for auditors and audit employers what we hope to achieve with the creation of Planet Audit is a ìone stop shopî for the audit fraternity around the world. An attractive, easily navigable niche site offering more than just audit vacancies but a site offering job seekers direct access to audit employers and specialist audit agenciesí says Mark Lombardi, Director of Planet Audit.

ëAs we near our launch we have received a tremendous response from global businesses, especially Financial Services companies along with the global accountancy firms and the major recruitment agencies. Enquiries have come from the Fortune 500 and FTSE 100 companies, the major Accountancy Practices as well as the Recruitment Agencies who operate in the international arena. They are all after one thing ñ Auditors. We are delighted to have secured postings and advertising from the worldís largest Internal Audit team (based out of New York), the USAís largest Accountancy Practice (posting c600 vacancies a month from across c80 US offices with applicant tracking via their Taleo talent system) and the world biggest Accountancy Recruitment Agency. In addition, more than 40 Agencies specialising in Audit Jobs have been posting vacancies in readiness for our launch and this list is growing daily.

We have signed up employers from Atlanta to Almaty, New York to London, Barbados to Sydney and the recruitment agencies covering these markets. We have just agreed a feed of some 600 vacancies a month from one global employer keen to access auditors from around the world. We have also secured vacancies from the Financial Services worldís largest Internal Audit team. We have also taken orders for 2 and 3 vacancies from employers in the Cayman Islands to Auckland and from Edinburgh to Dubaií says Mark.

Never before has there been so much choice for auditors around the world. As globalization takes hold and travel between the continents becomes so much easier auditors are casting their net and looking at jobs in London, Bermuda, Sydney and Toronto all at the same time. Capturing a new hire has become even more competitive for the audit employers, however, with Planet Audit they will now be able to showcase their vacancies around the regions on one site to this dedicated audience.

ìTalk Auditî is a forum on the site offering auditors the opportunity to communicate with other auditors around the world. ëItíll be a great place to find out things like the quality of schools, the best neighbourhoods, local property prices or the best sports clubs, or anything else you might want to knowí says Mark. ëQuestions from auditors, answered by auditors, who have gone before them, passing on their knowledge and information about locations around the worldí.

Candidates will have the opportunity to ìvisitî the job locations courtesy of Google Earth and the chance to promote themselves to the market by uploading their CV. ëWhat we hope to deliver to agencies and employers alike is the largest, dedicated database of available auditors locally, nationally and internationally whom they can contact directlyí.

There is an option for candidates to make themselves eligible to be ìheadhuntedî by making their CV visible on Planet Audit, perhaps because their contract is about to end, or simply to enhance their career.

Employers and agencies have available an ìauditor alert serviceî whereby they are notified immediately when any new candidate registers who satisfy their requirements. ëAll vacancies will also be automatically refreshed every 14 days taking you back to the top of the listings and offering great value for moneyí says Mark.

ëPlanet Audit launches soon and is here to satisfy a global demandí.
