Hiring employees, and especially those for your accounting department, can be challenging. If you’re looking for in-house workers, you’re confined to a pool of candidates with a certain radius of your office. The wider the radius, the better your offer will have to be to recruit top talent.
Of course, you can go out of your region, but that adds a new set of complications, such as paying relocation expenses.
“Rural-sourcing” to Find the Best Bookkeepers and Virtual Accountants
The United States has an incredible pool of talent living in rural areas of the country. People move to rural areas for the lower cost-of-living, the quality of life, or maybe they were born there and want to stay close to home, friends and family. The only challenge, in many of these areas, is the lack of job availability or major industries.
In short, you have tons of talented people living in rural areas unable to find fulfilling work. But that situation is changing as more and more companies rely on outsourcing for many of their business needs.
The trend of “rural-sourcing,” hiring smart, talented Americans in rural areas for business services, is on the rise. But AccountingDepartment.com has been doing it since 2004. Our business structure lets us take advantage of homegrown talent across the U.S. and connect these employees with fast-growing businesses in their region, but not necessarily within commuting distance.
