Specialist Area

I specialize in recruiting risk and compliance professionals across the financial services industry.

My Advice

Most people do not change their jobs frequently and you will spend a considerable proportion of your life working. It is therefore important that you seek the best opportunities to enable your fulfilment. Unfortunately, no perfect job exists - every job has pros and cons and you need to understand what you personally value, i.e work life balance, salary, job exposure, career development and travelling for example. I advocate looking for roles that give a balanced fit to your needs rather than embarking on a search for the illusory perfect job! I always ask "why" to both clients and candidates so that I have better understanding of the job offered and the company offering it. I always gather information not typically documented in a Job Description such as team culture, turnover rate, management style etc With this information and using my extensive experience in the recruitment industry I provide a holistic, truthful and comprehensive linking of candidates to roles. I believe this approach alongside centering the needs of my candidates means that I am best positioned to support you in your search and add value to your career progression.

My Background

I have over 7 years' recruitment experience during which I have recruited staff from Assistant Managers to C-Suite in the financial services industry. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration and professional qualification in accountancy.
