Snow may cause employers to loose more than a dayís productivity

Recruitment specialists Andrew Farr Associates have seen record numbers of applications and enquiries to register as snow forces accountants to stay at home.

With the snow making it impossible for many people to reach the office, a large proportion of individuals have been at home. Those accountants looking for a career move have been busier than many others who are making the most of a day off.

Andrew Farr Associates are finance and accountancy recruitment specialists. Andy Farr is the Managing Director ìmany finance professionals are unable to work from home, therefore when snowed in they can take advantage of being free during a working day.î Consequently ìthe number of job searches, applications and telephone calls made in to our business today has been significantî comments Farr.

With 2006 annual bonus payments having now been paid out, and the forthcoming publication of examination results heralding the start of the annual employment change, finance professionals are seriously looking at their options. With bad weather making people feel worse, those disillusioned or uninspired are seeking a change.

ìWith salaries as strong as ever, and many varied opportunities being continuously registered, job seekers are in a strong position to act nowî says Farr ìI am just grateful that our consultants were able to advise those individuals today.î

For many accountants today has not been about having a day off with their feet up, but one in which they have updated their CV, made contact with recruitment consultants and searched vacancies in preparation of making real life changing decisions. Employers could well be left counting the cost.
