I help financial planning professionals find great jobs with national and regional financial services businesses across the UK.Yes, another recruitment consultant on Linkedin. But hang on, give me a minute to explain why I can help you too.I get it. There are loads of recruitment consultants on LinkedIn, all fundamentally offering the same service (on paper at least, but I'll come to that). It’s a bit like financial planning in that regard. However, for those who understand the difference between selling and advising, it’s worth thinking about the service you want and what you are looking for in a recruitment partner. Perhaps you’re an adviser looking to work for a firm who values how you look after your clients? A firm who recognises that for you to be as good as you can be, they need to support you with leads or marketing or paraplanning and administration? Maybe you’re a compliance or T&C specialist who wants to join a firm that values the importance of your role and pays you accordingly?You could be a business owner or manager struggling to find experienced staff. You may have even spoken to a recruiter who has sent a bunch of CVs that have ‘financial adviser’ written on them somewhere but don’t solve your issues at all!If you are reading this, it might be that you need some help navigating the recruitment process from someone who understands. Someone who will take a consultative approach to finding out what you want and need without trying to ‘sell’ you something. I started recruiting financial advisers in the late 90’s. Back in the days of direct sales and big upfront fees. If I’m honest, I was probably all about selling back then. I did volume business for big clients, I talked about ‘hunters’ and ‘farmers’ and, to be fair, helped lots of people move jobs. Over the years the market changed and so did I. When we set up the Financial Services team at Exchange Street in 2007 we wanted to do it differently. To provide a truly consultative service. To really understand what our clients want and need and what will make the candidates we represent happy in their new job. I’m part owner at Exchange Street. Our business represents me and my values. Values that have helped us build long standing connections with financial planning firms across the UK and an extensive portfolio of candidates who trust us. Let’s connect. Drop me a message. Give me a ring or email me if you like. I’d be happy to answer any questions you might have and you can decide if I’m the right recruitment partner for you. I look forward to hearing from you.
