What Is Employment Atlanta and How Does Its Accounting Recruiting Work?

Employment Atlanta is an Atlanta-based recruiting and staffing agency that focuses on accounting and finance roles, from support-level positions through executive level, primarily in metro Atlanta and surrounding Georgia areas. It works on a straight contingency basis: employers pay no fee unless the agency finds a suitable candidate for the position. Candidates looking for accounting, tax, audit, bookkeeping, or finance jobs in Atlanta can contact the agency directly, and hiring managers can do the same to fill open roles.

What Employment Atlanta Does

According to the agency's own description, Employment Atlanta provides staffing and permanent, temporary, and contract placement services for Accounting and Finance professionals in the Atlanta, Georgia area. It has operated since 1987 and states that its business has grown through repeat business and referrals from clients.

The agency is run by two recruiters, Ed Freeman and Ed Welborn. Ed Welborn is described as a CPA (inactive). The site states that the two partners bring more than 50 combined years of Atlanta recruiting experience, and that both spent their first 10 years as recruiters with Robert Half/Accountemps in Atlanta.

Who It Serves

Employment Atlanta works with two audiences:

Job seekers — accounting and finance professionals looking for Atlanta-area roles
Employers — companies that need to hire accounting and finance staff and want to avoid a fee unless a placement is made

The agency states it handles positions from support level through executive level.

Types of Positions and Roles

Based on the agency's description, it places candidates in a broad range of accounting and finance roles, including:

Accountants
Bookkeepers
Controllers
Financial analysts
Auditors
Tax professionals
Accounting managers
Clerks
CPAs

"Most other accounting type positions"

The site organizes its job categories around Atlanta accounting jobs, Atlanta tax jobs, Atlanta audit jobs, Atlanta bookkeeping jobs, and other Atlanta jobs, plus Georgia accounting roles outside metro Atlanta and accounting roles outside Georgia.

How the Contingency Model Works

Employment Atlanta states it works on a straight contingency basis. In practical terms, as described on the site:

If the agency cannot find the proper candidate for a position, there is no fee to the employer.
The fee is tied to a successful placement rather than to the search itself.

This is the main structural difference between a contingency recruiter and a retained search firm. The site does not publish fee percentages, guarantee periods, or replacement terms, so those details would need to be confirmed directly with the agency.

Coverage Area

The agency covers all of Metro-Atlanta. Locations named on the site include:

Alpharetta, Austell, Avondale Estates, Buckhead, Buford, Canton, Chamblee, Clarkston, College Park, Covington, Conyers, Cumming, Dallas, Decatur, Doraville, Douglasville, Duluth, Dunwoody, East Point, Fairburn, Fayetteville, Forest Park, Griffin, Hampton, Hapeville, Jonesboro, Kennesaw, Lawrenceville, Lilburn, Lithia Springs, and Lithonia.

It also lists Georgia accounting roles outside metro Atlanta and accounting roles outside Georgia.

How to Get Started

The site provides a direct contact route for both candidates and employers:

Phone: (678) 234-5395
Email: the site directs visitors to email Employment Atlanta (the address is presented on the page as "email employmentatlanta")
Contacts: Ed Freeman, Recruiter; Ed Welborn, CPA (inactive), Recruiter

The site's stated call to action for employers is to "take down that help wanted sign and call us today."

What to Confirm Before Relying on It

The site does not publish several details that matter when choosing a recruiter:

Fee percentages or fee structure beyond the contingency model
Guarantee or replacement terms if a placement does not work out
Whether candidates are charged any fee (the site describes employer-side contingency, but candidate-side terms are not stated)
Current open positions, since the site describes service categories rather than a live job board

For anyone considering the agency, the practical next step is to call or email and ask directly about current openings, the roles being handled, and the terms that apply to your situation.
