Hi all

Just wanted to ask if anyone has had good experiences with accounting recruiters/agencies in Sydney. I’ve been job hunting for the last 6 months and while I’ve been landing interviews, I haven’t been able to secure an offer yet, so I was hoping to speak with a recruiter to get their perspective on my situation and the current market.

I tried reaching out to Richard Lloyd Recruitment today since they came up first on Google, but my calls kept going to voicemail.

Would really appreciate if anyone could recommend a good recruiter/agency or even share a Google link/contact I could reach out to.

Thanks everyone.

Hi all, I’ve been job hunting since November last yr (about 6 months now) and I’m starting to feel pretty stuck.

So far: 111 applications (as of today) —> 10 interviews (last one was 2 weeks ago) —> 9 rejections (2 grad roles+7 normal)

Background: BCom(Accounting), 2 years in public accounting, small firm +6 months at Big 4 (tax)

I left Big 4 because I realised tax wasn’t for me, and since then I’ve been trying to move into something broader within accounting but no luck so far.

At this point I’m wondering:

Is it worth speaking to a recruiter?
Should I keep pushing for accounting roles? Or is it just the market in 2026?
Or is it time to pivot into something adjacent?

If you were in my position, what would you do?

Feeling pretty stuck after 6 months of this.

Appreciate any advice.
