Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) partners with Monster.co.uk to offer Web-based recruitment services
Monster.co.uk and the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), the professional body for business accountants, announced a partnership that will enable CIMA to provide Web-based recruiting services. As a result, both CIMA-qualified accountants and their prospective employers will be able to take advantage of a single Internet resource for job searches and recruitment purposes.
The launch of CIMA's recruitment service, which is powered by Monster, follows the recent accounting controversies in the US that have caused UK companies to reassess their own finance departments. In the wake of these developments, many companies are reviewing their recruitment policies to ensure that their accountants have the skills, experience and integrity that a qualification such as CIMA's demonstrates.
With this new service, we can speed up the recruitment cycle and make things easier for both job seekers and employers, said Charles Tilley, the chief executive officer of CIMA. It may be a challenge to get a CIMA qualification, but now it's much easier to advertise for CIMA-qualified accountants.
Every CIMA member will have free access to the service, and companies seeking CIMA-qualified accountants will be able to advertise positions on the site. CIMA also hopes to build up a strong CV database of CIMA-qualified and part-qualified accountants.
CIMA's online recruitment service could save companies thousands of pounds on recruiting costs - a financial result that will undoubtedly meet with approval from accountants themselves, commented Joe Slavin, managing director of Monster.co.uk. The service will also save time for recruiters since Monster's screening tools allow employers to pinpoint CIMA-qualified candidates and weed out CVs of unqualified ones, he added. We predict that demand for the service will be high.
