“David worked closely with us over a number of months to really refine and hone the mandate, and understand our team dynamic and culture. [Candidate] has been a hugely successful hire, having since been promoted to Director within the team and now originating and executing their own deals.”

"Hiring a Venture Debt lead to relaunch our product to market required a unique blend of skills and experience, both technical and client-facing. David approached the request from a different perspective, bringing a young and ambitious former [Competitor] apprentice into the team – and he has gone on to become [Client’s] key face-to-market in venture, participating in podcasts and panels and representing our values externally. [Candidate] was also recently promoted to director."

"Joining [Venture lead] to support the team, [Candidate] was perhaps a hire that would have been overlooked by traditional recruiters, given he worked outside the UK and was a recent university graduate. However, his positive attitude and willingness to learn have cemented him as a key player in our growing team, and he continues to go from strength to strength."

"[Analyst] and [Associate Director] have both joined more recently, but fair to say both have made a flying start."

Working with David has been incredible, by far the best recruiter I have worked with in the financial services sector. He's knowledgable and well connected, and more importantly for any candidate, he's personable and honest which is an attribute often lacking with other recruiters. 

In the past I have felt relationships with other recruiters are very transactional with recruiters showing little regard for candidates, however with David I instantly was able to recognise his ability to build up a rapport with a candidate and understand their goals and desired career path and have an upfront down to earth conversation with them. 

David has been great to work with through my process of landing a role. He has always had the time to answer any questions and provide guidance for each interview.
