Questions
Frequently asked questions
How do you work with candidates?
Submit your résumé through our site and our team reviews every application. If your background fits a current or upcoming search — permanent or consulting — we'll reach out to learn what you're looking for and represent you to the right firms.
Do you handle permanent and consulting placements?
Yes. We're a full-service search firm specializing in both permanent and consulting placements across financial services.
Are your searches confidential?
Often, yes. Many of our clients run confidential searches, so the roles you see on our board describe the opportunity and firm type without naming the employer. We share full details directly with relevant candidates.
What roles and functions do you cover?
We focus on financial services across the front, middle, and back office — from portfolio management, trading, research, and structuring to risk, product control, treasury, fund accounting, operations, compliance, and technology & transformation — for investment banks, asset managers, hedge funds, and private equity.
Do you work with candidates who need visa sponsorship?
It depends on the role and client. We ask about sponsorship up front so we can match you to firms that can support your situation — now or in the future.
How is my information used?
We use the details and résumé you provide solely to evaluate you for current and future opportunities and to represent you to potential employers. We treat your information with discretion.
