Fundscareer is a niche recruitment firm, offering recruitment solutions for the Investment Management sector.

Recruitment Process

In order to provide recruitment solutions in an efficient, professional and cost-effective manner, we aim to build relationships based on a thorough understanding of your entire organisation and your individual needs.  We will meet with everyone involved in the recruitment process to ensure that we know exactly the kind of people that you look to recruit at all levels.

Our aim is to provide the very best candidates for your organisation. In order to achieve this, we recommend a face to face meeting with one of our consultants. Meeting before the recruitment process begins enables your consultant to gain a full understanding of your business, its culture, the role and the type of people you look to recruit. You, therefore, benefit from the consultants advice along with current market information about candidate availability, competitiveness of the package on offer and how best to promote the role to prospective candidates.

After a detailed briefing, we can advise on the approach which will enable you to obtain the candidates you are seeking for the position. There are a variety of ways in which this can be achieved:
 

Contingency

Contingency recruitment is the service Fundscareer offers when you call up with one-off vacancies for us to fill. 

One of our consultants will meet with you to discuss the specific requirement that you have along with the team and company in general.

By meeting at your offices, our consultant will be able to build up a better picture of the culture and environment, as well as the people that work for our company.

This detailed company profile can be matched to the candidates that we identify, from our highly targeted database or via a targeted advertising campaign, and will ensure that we only submit candidates who not only fit the job requirement, but also the company and team.

This profiling means that once employed, our candidates will enjoy working for your organisation as well as for you and everyone will enjoy working with them. 

This leads to a more successful and longer term employment.

Reverse Contingency

At Fundscareer, we take contingency recruitment one stage further.

With your permission, rather than wait for you to release a job and then possibly struggle to find you the right candidate, your consultant will take the time to fully understand your business and, with your help, ensure that they know everything about every part of your organisation.

We will then continually look out for the best candidates for you as a company and give you first refusal on them.

This ensures that when the best candidates come to the market, you are guaranteed to get them.

Our complete understanding of your firm ensures that you are not inundated with CVs; rather, you get the first look when the ideal candidate becomes available.

This saves you a considerable amount of time scouring the market for the ideal candidate as you will have already secured them.

Retained Recruitment

An extension of our reverse contingency recruitment service, retaining your Fundscareer consultant will guarantee that they do not work on any roles for your competitors.

By paying a percentage of the recruitment fee up front, your consultant waives the opportunity to work on other roles that come in to us, in order to concentrate on your requirements.

Taking up this option means that you effectively get a full time recruitment consultant dedicated to your company.

This option is particularly useful when recruiting for senior positions or carrying out larger scale recruitment drives.

Executive Search

When selecting this service, all of the consultants at Fundscareer pool their knowledge to ensure that they discover the best candidate from the entire market for your position.

The candidates that you are looking for in this instance are passive, in that they are not looking for a new job, or at least do nott realise that there are opportunities out there for them to consider.

By utilising our extensive network of Funds specific contacts, Fundscareer are able to identify a very small number of potential candidates and approach them regarding your position.

Otherwise known as headhunting, this service is especially useful for recruiting at the very top end of the market.
