Why Tallero

A recruiter who speaks
your language

A recruiter interviewing a candidate in a modern office

Sector-Only Specialists

We work exclusively in public accounting. That means we understand the difference between an R&D credit specialist and a general corporate tax manager — and so does every candidate we send you.

Culture-First Matching

Technical skills get candidates through the door. Culture is what keeps them. We invest time understanding your firm's working style, values, and team dynamics before we introduce anyone.

Quality Over Volume

You will never receive a stack of resumes to sort through. We introduce vetted, genuinely suitable candidates as we find them — each with our commentary on fit — so your time is spent interviewing, not screening.

Placement Guarantee

Every placement comes with a rebate guarantee period. If a hire doesn't work out in the first 90 days, we'll find you a replacement at no additional cost.

Our Process

From brief to placed,
without the noise

A focused, transparent process designed around your firm's needs — not a high-volume funnel.

01

Discovery Call

We learn about your firm, the role, team dynamics, and what a great hire actually looks like for you — beyond the job description.

02

Active Search

We tap our network of vetted public accounting professionals, including passive candidates not browsing job boards.

03

Considered Introductions

We introduce vetted candidates as we find them — each one comes with our commentary on fit, background, and expectations.

04

Interview Support

We coordinate interviews, manage candidate communications, and advise on offer structuring to maximise acceptance rates.

05

Placement & Aftercare

Once placed, we check in with both parties at 30 and 90 days to ensure the hire is landing well on both sides.

What Clients Say

Trusted by firms
across the country

Tallero sent us two candidates, both of whom were genuinely excellent fits. We made an offer to one and the other was nearly as strong. That's a ratio we'd never experienced with a generalist recruiter.

Managing Partner · Regional CPA Firm, Texas

We'd been searching for a Senior Tax Manager for months with no luck. Ben took a proper brief, came back quickly with focused options, and we had a placement within six weeks. Outstanding.

HR Director · Top 100 CPA Firm, Illinois

What sets Tallero apart is that they actually understand what we do. There's no need to explain what busy season means or why technical depth matters. They just get it.

Partner · Public Accounting Firm, California

Common Questions

What firms ask us

Most placements are handled on a contingency basis at a flat 25% of first-year base salary, regardless of seniority — you only pay when a candidate accepts an offer and starts. For Director-level and above, we offer an executive search arrangement with a retainer and a more dedicated, discretion-first process. Our fee structure is always confirmed in writing before any search begins.

We start introducing candidates as soon as we find people who genuinely fit the brief — that's usually within a couple of weeks of the discovery call, sometimes sooner, sometimes longer depending on the role. We don't believe in firing off generic candidates to look busy, so pace varies by seniority and specialism. We'll set honest expectations during the discovery call and keep you updated throughout.

All placements include a 90-day guarantee. If a placed candidate leaves or is let go for performance reasons within that period, we will conduct a replacement search at no additional fee. Full terms are set out in our assignment agreement.

Absolutely. We work with firms of all sizes — from sole practitioners looking for their first hire through to Top 25 national firms. The process and level of service is the same regardless of firm size.

Yes. We regularly conduct searches where the firm's identity is withheld from candidates until late in the process. We can discuss how to structure a confidential search during the discovery call.
