We have got 30 years of HISTORY
We have operated at the forefront of Financial Technology, Electronic Trading Financial Information, Index Providers, Risk Management Software, Passive Fund Management, Sector based Research, Consulting and Market Data.
We have relationships deep into these sectors. We don’t simply sign contracts, we establish personal, long-term connections that will accelerate growth and create diverse talented teams pioneering the sector.
Our business is based on the following four principles
Our business thrives on passion, creativity, and precise execution. With deep market expertise, we empower clients and candidates alike.
As a female co-led firm our Connect platform drives meaningful diversity and inclusion.
Passion and Creativity
Passion is the key to success. It drives energy and excitement, making us more attractive to clients and candidates. Passion helps us persevere through tough times and sets us apart from others, even when offering the same service.
Our passion for financial market recruitment and professional sales fuels our ongoing learning and improvement in these areas. Creativity goes hand-in-hand with passion.
It pushes us to find new ways of working, especially in an industry where many treat recruitment like a production line. We stand out by thinking beyond the obvious and considering candidates who may not fit the standard mold. Our creativity shows in:
• How we market ourselves
• How we win mandates
• How we source candidates
• How we manage relationships
Execution
Fulfillment – While passion and creativity are crucial, they mean little without proper execution.
Fulfillment is about delivering results quickly and efficiently. It means providing updates ahead of schedule and consistently exceeding expectations. It’s about treating every mandate as if we were hiring for our own team, ensuring each role is filled with care and precision.
Market Knowledge
We operate in highly complex markets, so it’s essential that our clients and candidates trust our understanding of their sector.
With extensive experience in financial markets, fintech, and business sales, we grasp the nuances of our industry. We continuously update our knowledge to stay ahead in this fast-paced environment.
This deep market insight is embedded in everything we do and is key to how we operate.
Diversity
Why use us for DEI?
We’ve developed a solution focused on addressing DEI challenges and are committed to supporting the implementation of these strategies across our market. As one of the few female-led organisations in the global data analytics space, we’re proud to lead the way.
Here’s why our pioneering Connect DEI platform is the right choice:
• Demonstrate your commitment to DEI and make a meaningful social impact.
• Avoid groupthink and gain fresh perspectives and insights.
• Overcome the challenge of saving time and budget while accessing diverse networks.
• Connect with exceptional talent, even if you’re unsure where to start.
• Create opportunities for underrepresented professionals and move the needle.
• Build a genuinely diverse environment where everyone feels they belong.
• Avoid a short-term, box-ticking approach to recruitment—focus on talent, not targets.
• Make a tangible difference with every hire.
