What do employers think of our VCFs?

‘It was the second time we’d participated in an ACCA VCF. The whole set up was professional, we did a variety of postings for junior and senior positions. Consequently, the results were phenomenal, and we now have almost 25-30 people within our organisation pursuing ACCA. All in all, a very positive experience – and would recommend more and more students and employers to join in.’
Sagar Ahuja, Head – F&A Outsourcing, SandMartin

‘The VCF was undoubtedly a successful event. We received overwhelming inquires and applications from students and members. We are proud to share that we hired three candidates and rolled out an offer letter to another candidate. We have more positions opening and will keep you posted about successful placements, as we look for more ACCA pursuing candidates.’
Karan Mahindru, Operations Manager, IMS Decimal

‘This is the first time we’d participated in an ACCA VCF. It was a professionally managed event with separate networking rooms for each employer and lots of content to actively engage the candidates. I loved the energy and vibrancy of the young ACCA professionals. I look forward to future events.’
Lalit Katyal, CFO – Enterprise Division (North America & APAC), Tech Mahindra

‘The VCF was the first of its kind for me. It is a much more convenient way for candidates to visualise and find information about both the job vacancies and the company. We definitely want to participate in future VCFs.’
Livia Archip, Senior Associate – HR, TGS Romania

‘It was a great experience for us and helped a great deal in terms of visibility. I thank ACCA for providing such a beneficial platform. Will look forward to participating in more of such events.’

Expand your candidate talent pool globally with the International Hall

Employers looking to broaden their candidate pool can find significant value by attending our fairs outside their home country or region. Setting up a booth at the International Hall allows you to connect with our sought-after, global ACCA talent, regardless of location.

In addition to your regional VCF, the International Hall gives you the opportunity to explore VCFs beyond your home country or region and engage with professionals seeking to make an international impact. This is ideal for employers looking to expand their candidate talent pool, particularly for the most in-demand skills in accountancy and finance.

Taking part is easy. We can transfer your booth from the last VCF you attended to the new International Hall at any of our upcoming fairs. All you need to do is attend virtually in the local time of the selected region and start discussing your vacancies, including remote roles, with the attending candidates. Contact your local ACCA representative for more information.
