“Finance Professionals provided a superior service to their competitors, offering excellent communication and prompt feedback, as well as dealing effectively with a highly difficult offer by using an efficient process management system.”
Manager of Trade Support Exotic Credit Derivatives, BNP Paribas 

I had very specific candidate requirements, and needed to get the job filled in a relatively short period of time. Finance Professionals listened carefully to my requirements and screened the candidates thoroughly before sending CVs in. As a result, I received applications from a large number of high-quality candidates and very little time was wasted reading through CVs for people who were unsuitable. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone else, and would use them again as a first choice when recruiting.”
BT

The service I received was of an exceptionally high standard and beyond what I have experienced with others.”

CANDIDATES 

The real selling point for the Finance Professionals service is the number of interviews they get you. For banking I could be scheduled in for two interviews a day five days a week all for roles that suited what I was after.
Paul Galpin, placed at Lehman Brothers

“It is the second time that Finance Professionals has helped me find a position in the City. On both occasions I found their help and advice to be invaluable. It is a first rate service that I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone seeking a professional position in the City.”
Product Controller, Morgan Stanley

“The advice provided was relevant to me given my current situation as I was unsure of my particular route. I was looking for advice on market opportunities available and I had limited knowledge on what was out there. My consultant was committed to helping me and I was very pleased overall – I secured a role that I wanted and felt that Finance Professionals offered support to me throughout the process.”
Candidate placed at Dixons Stores Group

“Finance Professionals was head and shoulders above the other recruitment consultancies I have used. They didn’t approach me with inappropriate roles, they contacted me on a regular, but not excessive, basis and provided some useful insights into the current market and the people I was due to meet. In addition, they returned all my calls in a prompt manner and always made time for me.”
Project Manager, Barclays Capital

“I received sound, objective advice – Finance Professionals were interested in what was best for me as a candidate rather than commission that could be earned.”
Candidate placed at Walt Disney

“My consultant Tyrone was extremely professional, he was really interested in what I wanted to do and even after the offer had been made to me he was checking whether this really was the role that I wanted.”
Carl Snyman, placed at Coronation Funds 

"My consultant was very encouraging all the way through and the service was all that was needed, for example, I wasn’t hounded with empty phone calls, but when a decent role for a decent company came along, the whole process was very efficient and professional.”
Katy Keeble, CSFB

“My consultant was very professional and friendly, offering honest and very relevant advice with regards to the job interview and how to prepare. I felt very confident and prepared when going into my interview which very obviously contributed to my successful appointment. In my opinion the overall service was excellent and I would recommend FP to other job seekers.”
