Recruit a Payroll Consultant

A payroll consultant must be able to navigate multiple clients’ systems and contracts while still delivering flawless results. We help you recruit consultants who can handle the breadth of the role.

We specialize in recruiting payroll consultants!

The role of a payroll consultant involves different demands than those of an in-house payroll department. The candidate must handle multiple clients simultaneously, quickly familiarize themselves with new systems and contracts, meet non-negotiable deadlines, and at the same time serve as the primary point of contact for clients with questions. Providing advice is just as much a part of the job as the administrative tasks.

We recruit for accounting and payroll firms, outsourcing companies, and internal shared service centers—and we know what sets a reliable consultant apart from a skilled in-house payroll specialist.

Extensive network of payroll consultants with agency and outsourcing experience

The best compensation consultants rarely look for new jobs through job ads. We survey the market and reach out to them directly, giving you access to consultants who have already proven they can handle multiple client assignments at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hiring a Payroll Consultant

Do you only recruit for payroll agencies?

No. We recruit payroll consultants for accounting and payroll firms, outsourcing companies, and internal shared service functions within large corporate groups. The requirements vary, and we tailor the job profile accordingly.
How many clients does a payroll consultant typically handle?

It varies greatly depending on the size and complexity of your client base. We always assess your actual client portfolio before proceeding, since the number of assignments and contract areas determines the level of seniority required.
How do you ensure that the candidate is suited for a consulting role?

We go through specific client situations from the candidate’s day-to-day work: a delayed delivery from a client, a routing error discovered too late, a client who wants more than what was agreed upon. The answers reveal more about the candidate’s consulting skills than the systems listed on their resume.
How soon can we see the candidates?

We typically present an initial selection of candidates who have been screened, interviewed, and had their backgrounds checked within approximately 2.5 weeks of the requirements profile being approved.
