Six Degrees Research is an independent research firm dedicated to identifying the very best candidates for public accounting firms that we serve. We specialize in partners, near partners, and succession opportunities for both in-person and remote work environments.
Six Degrees Research represents forty+ collective years of experience in connecting outstanding professionals with firms that understand and appreciate their value.
Our founders formerly occupied corner offices in the bluest of blue-chip recruiting, public accounting and Fortune 500 firms. But blue-chip firms are often the last to see the light. Our principals saw it early and clearly. Six Degrees Research and its leading edge methodology are the result.
Our specialization and public accounting leadership relationships developed over many years offers a better way to serve exceptional individuals.
With our longstanding relationships, our experience, and our recognition that the old ways are long gone, we are ideally positioned to be change leaders — in our industry and in the careers of the professionals we identify for our clients.
Our job is simple: we identify exceptional candidates who are qualified for exceptional positions.
We know the positions that our prestigious public accounting firms retain us to help fill. We know the experience, skills, and personal chemistry they require. We know the career pathways they offer. And we are confident that the professionals like you that we approach will find it rewarding to complete the connection we offer.
Our research team knows the markets and the key players. They are attuned in every possible way, from social networks and a myriad of digital resources to old-fashioned word-of-mouth, peer-about-peer referrals.
When we approach a professional like you, it’s because we know we represent lucrative, career-enhancing opportunities. And because these are ‘live’ opportunities, when you respond with interest, you’ll be contacted within hours, even minutes, (on your terms, of course) by a senior level person from our client company. You’ll get all the details and have all questions answered.
We are retained on a fee basis by the public accounting firms we serve. Our clients pay us to find the limited number of ‘you’s’ in your industry. Once we’ve found you, our job is simply to tell you about opportunity. We don’t sell you — we inform you. If you’re interested, we connect you. The hiring firm takes over from there.
This profoundly shapes our practice—and our candidates’ experiences. We are unbiased in our recommendations. If we say there is an outstanding opportunity for you — there is an outstanding opportunity for you. Our relationship with our clients and the professionals we contact depends on that. And our obligation ends with that.
“You showed up at the right time with the right thinking. I’m grateful for your help and extraordinary service.”
“That you were able to find me was in itself quite a feat. That you were able to so fully understand my rather specialized professional niche was very reassuring; you had the right answer for me at that very first meeting. I’d like to formally express my thanks to your excellent operation.”
“My initial job search was not going well. It was frustrating. Then I met [Six Degrees] and things changed overnight. Within a couple of weeks, I found my dream job. I have been looking forward to coming to the office everyday since I started, because I love what I do.”
“He is very well connected with key decision makers (CEO’s and managing partners) of CPA firms of all sizes. Within several days, he got me five interviews with great CPA firms in New York metro area.”
“He provided timely coaching and valuable intel throughout the interview processes. The preparation and debrief sessions before and after interviews were informative and made me feel confident and comfortable.”
We look forward to hearing from you, in confidence, about any topic you have found of interest. We hope we can be of service.
