Hello, I am curious if anyone recommends one Boston area recruiting firm over another. I am looking to relocate to the Boston area (and would equally be interested in Providence, RI) and am having trouble finding tax positions. At this point, I am considering non-tax accounting work. I would also like to avoid using Robert Half. I did not have a good experience with them when graduating college.

Thanks!

Kforce at least got me interviews, but I worked with the Vice President at Robert Half in Boston and landed a Senior Accountant job that way. I got a temp accounting job through KBW to hold me over while I was interviewing. The others are pretty much crap.

I got a few interviews through applying to jobs in Boston via Linkedin without even having to use recruiters.

I graduated last December (MBA) and used Hollister Staffing and Beacon Hill Staffing before getting a Big4 gig through my school. Both of those staffing firms were very attentive, and had a good mix of permanent jobs, not just temp jobs that most other firms offer, such as KForce.
