Recruiter:
Beament Leslie Thomas
BLT are generally regarded as the recruiter of choice for Indirect Tax professionals. We differ from most other Consultancies in that we focus on Indirect Tax, acknowledging the fundamental difference between this area and the other tax disciplines. We believe that our size gives us an agility and imaginative approach often missing from larger organisations; we are proud of our reputation for effective, efficient and above all friendly recruitment solutions for our clients and candidates alike.
BLT's Indirect Tax team is widely acknowledged to be the market leader in the UK and continues to enhance both its domestic and international profile. Our team of four is unique in its exclusive concentration on indirect taxes. This focus has enabled us to develop in-depth knowledge of the field, and consequently the team has built up an astonishing network within the market since its inception 20 years ago. The Indirect Tax team recruits VAT and Customs/Excise duty specialists (our work also covers other indirect taxes such as IPT and Landfill tax as required) into a range of organisations. Our client base comprises multinational corporations, the Top 50 accountancy firms, independent consultancies, law firms, educational institutions, public sector and quasi governmental bodies.
Our experienced consultants come from a variety of backgrounds. All have a track record in recruitment, a number have actually worked within tax and the majority hold the Recruitment and Employment Confederation qualification. Our consultants are always happy to discuss the market with you, so whether you are actively looking to move, or whether you want information on the options available to you long-term, give BLT a call for advice on your career - you won't be disappointed.
