Resourcing expertise in Financial Services

Financial Services hiring is different. Regulatory risk, brand reputation and internal scrutiny demand a level of rigour that generalist recruiters often underestimate. That’s why our clients, from global banks to specialist platforms, trust us to get it right.

We specialise in sourcing professionals who don’t just work in Financial Services, they live and breathe it. With decades of experience across wealth and investment management, private equity, capital markets, banking, pensions, insurance, platforms and fintech, we provide sector-tested professionals who thrive in high-performance, regulated environments.

Led by Mike Stirton, a seasoned FS recruitment leader whose teams consistently rank as top PSL performers, we bring delivery excellence across all business areas from front office to operations, corporate to compliance, and everything in between
