About
14 years building relationships in Phoenix's accounting and finance community — not because it was a job, but because finding the right fit for the right person actually matters.
Before founding Prospect Recruiting in 2020, Aaron spent 14 years as a recruiter exclusively in the Phoenix market — through two recessions, a pandemic, and more economic cycles than most firms survive. That kind of tenure in a single market doesn't happen by accident. It happens because clients and candidates keep coming back.
Prospect Recruiting was built on a simple belief: the best hire isn't always the most available candidate. It's the person with the right technical skills, the right career motivation, and the right fit for your specific team at this specific moment. Finding that person takes more than posting a job. It takes relationships built long before a role opens.
Aaron's focus has always been narrow by design: Accounting, Finance, Tax, Human Resources, and Operations. Not because he couldn't recruit for other functions, but because knowing one market deeply produces better outcomes than knowing many markets shallowly. When you work with Prospect Recruiting, you're working with someone who has placed Controllers at companies like yours, who knows what a strong Senior Accountant looks like in the Phoenix talent pool, and who already has conversations happening with the candidates you need to meet.
What separates Aaron from the average recruiter — and candidates say this consistently — is that he puts the right outcome ahead of the fast commission. The job Cory R. ultimately took wasn't even through Prospect Recruiting. Aaron still coached him through the entire process because it was the right fit. That's the kind of reputation that builds a business worth keeping.

Founder & Managing Recruiter
We represent candidates the same way a great attorney represents a client — fully and honestly, even when it costs us. If the job isn't right, we say so. That's why candidates come back.
We send 3–5 vetted candidates, not 20 resumes and a shrug. Every person we present has been interviewed personally and evaluated for fit — not just keywords.
A placement that lasts two years is worth more than a quick fill. We stay in touch after the hire because our reputation is built on what happens after the start date.
14 years in one market means we know who's who in Phoenix accounting and finance. We're not learning your market — we already live in it.
Aaron is one of the best in the business. I've worked with him many times over the past five years, and what stands out most is how direct, honest, and reliable he is. He tells it to you straight, follows through on what he says, and operates with a level of integrity that is hard to find. What makes Aaron especially effective is that he understands both sides. He helps candidates find opportunities that truly fit, and he helps companies identify people who are not only qualified but aligned with the role and the organization. I would highly recommend Aaron to anyone looking for their next opportunity, or any company looking for a trusted recruiting partner.
Aaron is one of the best recruiters I have worked with — the experience with him went far beyond just a job search. Aaron really took the time to sit down and talk with me and understand what my goals were in my career and help me determine the best way to reach them. He is someone I hope to keep in touch with as I continue in my career and someone I will certainly reach out to when I have a need. I highly recommend working with Aaron if you are looking to make a change from your current position or even if you are just looking for some honest and well-meaning career advice!
Aaron was the best recruiter I've ever worked with. It was a completely different experience than any other recruiter I had worked with in the past. Aaron was far more concerned with finding me the perfect career fit than worrying about how it would affect him or his firm. Working with a recruiter that puts the candidate first is what makes Aaron different. A lot of recruiters say they do this, but few actually do. The job I ultimately accepted wasn't using a recruiting firm, but Aaron knew it was a perfect career fit for me. He gave me guidance for my interviews as we talked a few dozen times during the short interview process. I would recommend Aaron and Prospect Recruiting to anyone.
