Remote, but local? At PSN, we’ve been seeing a growing trend: Remote roles that still require candidates to live in-state. The idea is simple —stay flexible, but keep the option for on-site collaboration. But there’s more to consider with this model: Opening your roles to a national, fully remote audience sounds like a win…but it also creates competition across wildly different talent pools. This can hurt your local job market, especially when out-of-state candidates bring lower cost-of-living and different salary expectations. From our lens as a New Jersey–focused recruiting partner, local hiring matters. It supports our economy. It strengthens our businesses. And the NJ talent market remains one of the strongest in the country. Still — remote flexibility has real advantages. So here’s the question we’ve been asking: Should remote roles stay local to protect your home economy? Or should companies hire nationally for the widest talent pool? We see both sides every day. Curious where you stand.

Recruiting math: 1 open role = 100 résumés 100 résumés = 10 solid candidates 10 solid candidates = 3 interviews 3 interviews = 1 perfect match …who then ghosts you. This job will test your patience, your inbox, and your caffeine limits…but helping someone change their life or helping a client find their perfect fit? That’s the part that makes it all worth it. Happy Friday to the recruiters out there giving it their all! #RecruitingLife #PSN

The best hires happen when both sides align — when a company’s culture, leadership, and expectations truly match what a professional is looking for. It’s not about filling a seat or landing an offer — it’s about creating partnerships where people can thrive and organizations can grow stronger. At Professional Search Network, we see it every day: when alignment drives the hiring process, everyone wins. Because great work starts with the right fit — on both sides of the table. #PSN #FridayReflection #Hiring #Leadership #Recruiting #Alignment #PeopleAndCulture

📊 Industry Insight The number of students sitting for the CPA exam has dropped by nearly 30% over the past decade (NASBA). This decline is creating long-term challenges for the accounting profession — fewer graduates, fewer licensed CPAs, and more competition for top talent. At Professional Search Network, we see this trend impacting firms every day. Companies are turning to consultants, project-based professionals, and new talent pipelines to keep their finance functions running smoothly. ➡️ Question for you: How do you think the industry should respond — invest more in technology, or double down on attracting new graduates? #PSN #IndustryInsight #Accounting #Finance #TalentShortage
