SPECIALISTS IN FINANCIAL SERVICES RECRUITMENT

Our success is based on our determination to add value to the recruitment process in an over-arching ethical manner. This involves ensuring that we understand the needs of both clients and candidates and giving real, unbiased advice.

We recruit on behalf of the major life and investment companies, as well as national and local firms of financial advisers, including private banks and private client firms. With offices in both Edinburgh and London, we have recruited into all of the UK's financial centres and areas and, whilst the majority of our work is within the UK, we also regularly recruit for overseas positions in locations such as the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Continental Europe, the Middle East, Far East and Australasia.

January 2012: Harris Keillar's Blog Update:
Despite a variety of mixed messages coming out of Davos and Berlin about the eurozone in particular, most of our clients appear to have gone down the sensible ‘Keep Calm and carry On’ route on the basis that there are so many issues out there that could explode – some literally if Iran is included in the list of possible events – that one might as well continue as if they are not there as one cannot do anything about them anyway.

On the micro-level we had a good lesson in the importance of not just asking questions of candidates but keep asking when the answers do not appear to match the CV. One candidate proudly had MBA on his CV, though proved curiously reluctant to say where or when he had passed this exam. When pressed, he mentioned a college that is a well-known degree factory in the States that gives degrees in exchange for cash – so much easier than studying. Needless to say we will not be working with that particular candidate.
