Prospect Recruiting specializes in Accounting, Finance, Tax, HR, and Operations search for Phoenix-area companies. We send you fewer candidates — and better ones.

We fill searches others
don't know how to start.

Most accounting and finance talent isn't on job boards. They're employed, doing good work, and not actively looking — but open to the right conversation. After 14 years building relationships in the Phoenix market, we know who they are. And we know how to reach them.

We run every search personally. That means no hand-off to a junior recruiter, no keyword-filtered resume blasts, and no candidates who were submitted to four other companies the same afternoon. You get a shortlist of 3–5 people who were vetted by Aaron, interviewed by Aaron, and presented because they're genuinely right for your role.

The problems we solve every day.

The Controller seat has been open for 8 weeks.

Every week without a Controller creates reporting delays, audit risk, and staff burnout. We move quickly — average 34 days from kickoff to shortlist — because you don't have time to wait.

You've seen 30 resumes and none were right.

Job boards produce volume, not quality. We reach people who aren't applying anywhere — and we've already had the conversation about whether they'd be interested in your role before we mention your name.

The CFO search needs to stay confidential.

Retained and contingent searches run with full discretion. We don't advertise your role publicly unless you want us to. The candidate community hears about your opportunity through a direct conversation.

The last hire didn't work out.

We evaluate candidates on culture fit and career trajectory, not just technical skills. Our average placed candidate stays 3.1 years. When we say someone is right, we mean it.

Contingent or Retained — we do both.

Contingent Search

No upfront cost. Pay on results.

Best for most individual contributor to manager-level searches. We run the search, you pay a fee only when you hire a candidate we present. No retainer required.

Retained Search

Exclusive focus. Guaranteed delivery.

Best for senior leadership searches — Controllers, Directors of Finance, CFOs, VP HR, and COO-level roles. We commit to the search exclusively, with a structured engagement and progress reporting throughout.

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.
