Consultancy and Software Vendors

Consultancies and Software Vendors provide a range of specific products and services as well as thought leadership and execution expertise across a wide spectrum of the Financial Markets industry. Generic services such project management and process improvement are provided, as well as specialised expertise around specific products such as Credit Derivatives and Fixed Income. In addition, they provide expertise in very specific functions; whether this is within the trade, confirmation, or settlement of a particular financial instrument, the data and analytics essential for it, or the plethora of Risk Regulatory and Compliance legislation prevalent within the financial markets industry.

Whilst some of the  Financial Markets Consultancies may perform a broadly similar role, their business culture, method of delivery, remuneration and career opportunities may be very different. Recruiting for vendors poses a particular challenge, as the roles frequently require specialist knowledge of the financial product and specific business function, so the pool of potential candidates will be small and difficult to find.

Our Financial Markets and Vendor Consultancy recruitment specialists have extensive knowledge of the financial markets arena and use a proactive “search” based approach to all our assignments, actively sourcing appropriate candidates, who may not be available through other means. This delivers a successful recruitment service without resorting to Headhunting.
