A modern approach.

Increasingly, company culture is moving to the centre of the narrative of what makes businesses successful. This culture is determined by your human capital strategy and who you hire.

Our process is geared towards finding clients the talent that other search providers might not reach.

We work alongside firms that have an inclusive culture, a passion for their work, and a commitment to doing things the right way. Whether you’re a team of ten or one hundred, an inspired start-up or an established organisation — we work with firms we believe in.

We engage with our clients through a partnership model, where we use our specialist market knowledge to ensure we find the most capable hire, resulting in a long-term benefit for our client.

We partner with:

  • Asset managers
  • Pension funds
  • Wealth managers
  • Hedge funds
  • Banks
  • Private equity & Venture Capital
  • Real estate
  • PropTech
  • ESG SaaS businesses
  • Boutique sustainability consultancies

Through hiring, we help our clients achieve:

  • ESG integration into all asset classes
  • Running and developing sustainable investment products
  • International team expansion and entering new markets
  • Developments to internal ESG data platforms
  • Impact and ESG reporting e.g. UNPRI, SASB etc
  • UN SDGs through their human capital
  • Decarbonisation of business operations

Diversity.

How to solve the lack of demographic and cognitive diversity within the financial services management industry is one of the great challenges of the next decade.

We are tackling this problem by challenging ourselves to evolve, change, and create new solutions, especially through backcasting.

Our search process is consistently evolving and improving; we use gender neutral language in our communications, we develop new ways to encourage our clients to focus on behavioural psychology rather than a rigid adherence to lateral hiring, and engage directly with industry DEI leaders.

Strategic partner.

We have a bird’s eye view of what is happening in various industries, and we enjoy working with our clients to help them understand what other firms are doing.

This can be with compensation data, clarity on product roadmaps, approach to new regulations, or sometimes a feel for the current and predicated trends of the talent within the market.

We aim to add value to our clients on the double bottom lines of productivity, and strategy.

Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.
