Description

This research-based webinar presents findings from a comprehensive nationwide survey of 202 accounting professionals revealing a critical misalignment in talent acquisition. Firms continue to over-test for abundant technical skills while significant deficits in critical thinking and professional communication go largely unassessed in hiring processes.

With 92.5% of firms now using AI in recruiting, the competitive landscape has fundamentally shifted. This session covers key survey findings on AI adoption, the new competency hierarchy where AI ethics ranks highest, the economics of precision hiring including the “loyalty tax” paid to external hires, and the transformation framework firms are implementing. Participants will gain actionable insights for realigning their firm’s assessment priorities and implementing AI-enhanced recruitment strategies.

Objective

Upon completion, participants will be able to: * Summarize the key findings from the nationwide survey regarding skills gaps, AI adoption rates, and hiring challenges in the accounting profession * Recognize how the competency hierarchy has shifted, with AI ethics awareness now ranking above technical accounting knowledge as a critical priority * Identify the economic factors in precision hiring, including salary premiums for ideal candidates and the compensation gap between external hires and internal promotions * Evaluate the three-year precision hiring transformation framework and identify implementation steps relevant to their organization
