The theory of 6 degrees is one that we are all connected. When we set out in 2006…

Our goal simply put, is not is not to place our candidates. Our goal is to help them. When we help people, good things happen. Our relationship with our candidate is held in the highest regard. We are here for you. We place roughly 20% of the people we meet… but we try to help 100 % of them.

Why 6 Degrees? We are public accountants and consultants ourselves. We understand the aspirations of the accounting and financial candidate.

6 Degrees has built a rock solid network of both clients and candidates in the area. We strive to provide a no pressure, trust based, consultative approach to the process. We have an in depth knowledge of the Chicago market, skill sets in demand, and salary info by region and industry.
