What we screen for

Read against the job, not the keywords.

Volume

Hands-on accounts payable in a busy environment: how many invoices a month, across how many suppliers.

Systems

The accounting system they use every day, MYOB, Xero or similar. Used, not just listed.

The whole cycle

Coding to GL and cost centre, supplier statements, credit card reconciliations.

Accuracy

Accuracy and organisation, shown in the work they describe rather than claimed.

Communication

Confident Excel, and clear written and spoken communication with suppliers.

A plus, not a filter

Month-end exposure, an accounting qualification, and experience in a business like yours.

Already advertised?

We’ll read the applications you already have.

Application Screening reads every one against your brief for $950 per role, with the shortlist back on a 48-hour target from the last application. No placement fee.

How screening works

If it doesn’t work out

Two guarantees, in writing.

No shortlist worth interviewing within 30 days? You can have the $800 engagement fee back. If your hire resigns within 120 days, or you end their employment within 90, we run the search again at no further fixed fee.
