Azets adding 900 new hires across the UK

Azets is looking for 900 new staff for its businesses across the UK over the next year.

The recruitment drive covers roles at all levels of the corporate hierarchy, from associate to partner, and areas of Azets’ business, including audit and assurance, accounting and advisory business services, corporate finance, tax, and restructuring.

A large part of this recruitment is expected to come from graduates and school leavers, with up to 400 predicted to join in September 2023 – 100 more than this year’s 300-strong group and double the 200 seen last year.

Azets is also looking to provide opportunities to those who have taken the new T-Levels, vocational qualifications introduced in 2020.

Rachel Rennison, Group Head of Talent Acquisition at Azets, said: “This is an exciting time to join Azets as we welcome new talented advisors into the firm and keep delivering against our growth ambition.

“Next year we will double our intake of trainees compared with 2021, as part of a wider recruitment drive to fill more than 900 roles within our UK Group businesses.

“We are actively recruiting at all levels, with our investment in hybrid working creating more opportunities for existing staff and removing traditional barriers around location and flexibility.

“A career at Azets is built on mutual trust and focussed on providing our people with all the tools they need to develop personally and professionally, and to give rounded advice to our clients, with high levels of autonomy and a broader range of experience than those offered by larger firms.”

Azets is also hoping that it can fill at least 10 per cent of its vacancies with returning retirees and career breakers, following proactive targeting of over-50s.

It is also making ongoing investment into fully-digitised, mobile-enabled working environments, providing staff more flexibility and removing geographical barriers.

William Payne, Regional CEO at Azets UK, said: “The workspace has changed, as has the type of support needed by our clients. That’s why we are embracing hybrid working, to deliver an experience that suits both our employees and our clients.

“Digitisation is key to our investment strategy as we know our clients want top quality advice and rapid access to information at any given time, and staff want the flexibility and freedom to integrate work with other important commitments.”
