“The job market is good.”

“The job market is bad.”

Tony's response?

It's more complicated than that.

We recently shared the latest Orlando and Tampa labor market numbers.

But here's something those numbers can't tell you:

What hiring actually looks like for a specific profession.

Recruiters often see changes before they make their way into the headlines. And right now, what Tony is seeing in Accounting & Finance doesn't necessarily match the broader narrative.

From his perspective, demand for strong Accounting & Finance professionals remains high, while the supply of people actively looking—or willing to explore something new—remains relatively limited.

Certain skill sets, including CPAs, can be especially difficult to recruit.

And where a company stands on hybrid, remote, or fully in-office work can play a much bigger role in a candidate's decision than people realize.

A headline can't tell the whole story.

The market can look completely different depending on the discipline, skill set, compensation, flexibility and company.

What are you seeing in your corner of the market right now?

Twenty years of experience doesn't mean you've seen every situation before.

Tony would actually argue the opposite:

Every situation—and every person—is different.

What experience gives you is a better instinct for knowing when to dig deeper.

If an answer doesn't quite add up, don't assume the question was wrong. Ask it another way. Get clarity. Understand what's actually happening before deciding what comes next.

Tony sees this when his team brings him situations and asks, “What do you think?”

Sometimes, just listening to the details is enough to start identifying where the potholes might be.

That instinct wasn't built overnight.

It came from years of conversations, questions, mistakes, and learning when not to take an answer at face value.

What's an instinct you've developed in your career that you didn't have when you started?

Sometimes a good team lunch is all you need to break up the workday.

The Orlando team recently gathered in our multipurpose room for lunch together—a chance to step away from the screens, catch up, and enjoy some time with the people we work alongside every day.

Recruiting moves quickly, so we appreciate the moments that give everyone a chance to slow down and connect.

Good food helps, too.

What's your go-to team lunch: ordering in or heading out?

When Tony started recruiting, there was no LinkedIn. No texting candidates. No AI. No video interviews.

They were still faxing résumés.

A lot has changed in 20+ years—but according to Tony, the most important part of recruiting really hasn't.

It's still about having in-depth conversations. Understanding what's important to a candidate. Understanding what a company actually needs. And figuring out whether the two genuinely fit.

Technology gives us greater access to people and information.

It doesn't necessarily make recruiting easier.

And one thing Tony believes companies still value as much as—if not more than—technical ability?

Culture and personality fit.

Technical skills can often be taught. Soft skills are a different story.

What's one thing technology has changed about your industry—and one thing it never will?

More than 20 years ago, Tony Bercik wasn't planning on becoming a recruiter.

In fact, it wasn't even on his radar.

After graduating with degrees in Accounting and Finance, Tony moved to Orlando and started working in insurance sales. He quickly realized it wasn't the right fit and decided to approach a recruiting firm about helping him find something new.

They couldn't place him.

But they did tell him something unexpected:

You'd be good at recruiting.

A conversation with their leadership followed, they created a position for him, and an entirely different career began.

More than two decades later, Tony still loves what initially drew him in—the fast pace, the conversations, and the opportunity to work with people every day.

Sometimes the career you build isn't the one you originally planned.

Did you intentionally choose your current career, or did you find your way into it unexpectedly?

Leadership has a lighter side, too. 🎹

Recently, members of our team joined Leadership Seminole for The Lighter Side of Leadership at Tuffy's Music Box & Lounge in Downtown Sanford.

It was a great evening of catching up with familiar faces, making new connections and enjoying a very entertaining performance from Premier Dueling Pianos.

We’re grateful for opportunities like these to support Leadership Seminole and spend time with people who are invested in making a difference throughout our local community.

Thank you to Leadership Seminole for bringing everyone together for such a fun night!

Who knew networking and dueling pianos made such a good combination?

What’s happening in the Orlando and Tampa job markets as we head into Q4?

The latest numbers show a labor market that’s still growing—but at a more measured pace.

In the Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford market, total nonfarm employment reached approximately 1.51 million jobs in August, up 0.8% from a year ago. The metro unemployment rate was 4.7% in July.

In Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, August employment reached approximately 1.56 million jobs, up 0.9% year over year, while the July unemployment rate was 4.8%.

So, what does that tell us?

Both markets are still adding jobs year over year, while unemployment rates are higher than they were earlier this year.

For employers, that’s an important reminder: a larger available workforce doesn't automatically mean the right candidates are easy to find—particularly when you're looking for a specific combination of experience, technical skills and compensation expectations.

For professionals, a changing market makes it even more important to understand where your experience fits and clearly communicate the value you bring.

As we head into Q4 and companies begin looking toward 2027, we'll continue watching how these numbers develop.

For those of you hiring or looking for your next opportunity in Central Florida: does the market feel different to you today than it did six months ago?

One of the lessons I learned early in my career at PwC had nothing to do with accounting.

I remember being new, closing up my desk at 5PM and getting ready to leave.

One of my managers—who became a great mentor—later explained something to me: we work as a team, and we leave as a team.

That stuck with me.

Public accounting taught me time management and teamwork, but it also taught me how to carry myself as a professional.

As a young professional, I was sitting across from executives who had been in their careers for 30+ years. You had to learn how to prepare, present your work, communicate and build confidence.

People sometimes joke that one year in Big Four is like seven in "dog years." There's some truth to that. You gain an incredible amount of experience very quickly.

The technical experience was invaluable.

But the confidence, teamwork and professionalism? I've carried those lessons with me throughout my entire career.

What's something an early manager or mentor taught you that you still remember?

One of the biggest interview mistakes I see talented candidates make is completely avoidable:

They don't prepare.

And companies can tell.

Before an interview, you should have thoughtful questions ready. Research the company. Learn about the position. If you know who's interviewing you, take a few minutes to learn about them, too.

Your questions should show that you've done your homework and that you're genuinely interested in the opportunity.

And this isn't just advice for someone early in their career.

I've seen it at every level.

If you truly don't have enough time to prepare for an interview, I'd rather see you ask to reschedule than walk in unprepared.

You may only get one opportunity to make that first impression. Give yourself the chance to make it a good one.

What's one thing you always do before an interview?
