About the Company

Ethical, Expert & Professional Recruitment by former Compliance Officers, specialising in AML & Financial Crime (including Anti Bribery & Corruption, CDD/KYC & Fraud), Compliance, Data Privacy & Risk across all sectors particularly Financial Services (including Payments), Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals and Professional Services (including Accountancy & Law Firms).

FOR EMPLOYERS

As all former Compliance Managers;
- We would never waste your time with cvs that weren't exactly right as to
Function, Sector & Seniority
- With contacts going back 30 years to our own time in Compliance let alone
those built up since we started in Recruitment, we know a lot of the reactive
market i.e. candidates that won't apply to ads or even keep an updated
profile on LI but know & trust us.
- We fairly advise on salaries for any given role & responsibilities or else what
to expect for a given budget (and write the job specification if required)

So before advertising yourself and doubtlessly sifting through a large number of non spot-on responses, please approach us and see what we can offer you.

FOR CANDIDATES

We never forget what it was like to be candidates ourselves thus have never mailshotted cvs nor have ever put candidates up for roles unless we genuinely believed was the right move for them. We also give honest advice on salaries and let you know if think aiming too high or even low as well as assist on cv presentation if can

Then once put you up for a role, can brief you properly on the role and where possible the interviewer and always endeavour to get you useful feedback even when not successful. After all, the candidate of today may well be the client of tomorrow
