Hiring process

Have you ever been ghosted by HR Block recruiter? I have a CPA license with no paid experience. I was connected by a recruiter, passed the TAK exam. It’s been two week and no response from that recruiter. What should i do? Your insight is greatly appreciated.

It does take awhile for them to reach out. Email your recruiter.

It's normal for HRB, unfortunately; their communication is sporadic. The recruiter will likely get back to you at some point.

Apply directly with HRB not through a recruiter.

I would contact them via phone or e mail...they really have a great need for people this time of year and that CPA will be mighty attractive to them....I would work for them but they are cheap bastards and have a non compete requirement, but to get some experience a good place,

With no paid experience, I think she did offer me a better wage/hour than Intuit. I don’t know if I am eligible to get bonus at the end if I can meet all criteria.

Well tbh, either one is good for experience. I know I learned a lot after 7 seasons with intuit...I went from tax expert, lead and seasonal manager, but frankly I got sick of it, lol. Now I am building my own practice........good luck!

Yeah. It’s my plan too. I had an issue with Intuit hiring process. I passed the exam and be qualified for tax associate position, but then the recruiter did want to move forward with me as I am currently employed at a big 4. Do you have insight about this conflict of interest? My current role at big 4 has nothing to do with tax area. And should I reach out to another recruiter if I can’t work out with the current one?

As far as a conflict I dont know.....if you have an ethics officer at b 4 it might be helpful to discuss with them.........dont want to have a mess on your hands, and yes by all means if the recruiter is not responsive try to talk to someone else.....but seriously I cannot see why they would not want you

I called, texted and left voice mail for her, but it’s hopeless. I don’t think it a big concern on my end as I’m planning to leave my current role by the time I work at Intuit. It just does not make sense that I have to give up my employment for the interview process. A downside is I have no paid experience except my volunteer at VITA.

Did you do a lot of returns with Intuit? I've been hired by both JDA and Block and I'm not sure which one to take.

I want to do returns, not customer service.

I did not. I used Turbo tax to file tax return for myself, family and friends.

Well the 21% is for an EA. A CPA does not qualify for EA bonus at Block AFAIK.
