Background

When our London legal recruiter, Jonathan Taylor, was briefed on an off-market investment funds role at a top US firm in London, he immediately began mapping out the market to find the ideal candidate. After a headhunt project, engaging a suitable candidate and after a detailed two-hour call, where Jonathan provided insights into the market and the unique advantages of this opportunity, this candidate decided to apply for the role.

Thanks to Jonathan’s targeted approach, the candidate was promptly called in for an interview after being submitted for the position.
