Specialist Recruitment for Financial Services Employers

The right candidate. Not simply another CV.

Hunter Reid helps employers recruit specialist talent across Asset Finance & Leasing, Motor Finance, Green & Sustainable Finance and Fintech.

We offer contingent recruitment alongside retained executive search for senior, specialist and confidential appointments.

Our objective isn’t to send you the greatest number of CVs. It’s to understand your business and provide a carefully selected shortlist of people with the skills, motivation and personality to succeed.

Over 94% of candidates we submit progress to first interview

That statistic reflects the way we work. Every candidate is interviewed before being introduced. We take time to understand their experience, capabilities, motivations and expectations, and we never submit somebody for a position without their knowledge and permission.

Understanding your business

A good brief goes beyond a job description. We want to understand the role, team, culture, objectives and challenges so that we can represent the opportunity accurately and identify people who are genuinely suited to it.

Qualifying every candidate

Every candidate we put forward is interviewed in detail. We assess relevant experience and skills, but also motivation, expectations and the factors that will influence whether a move is right for them.

Preparing candidates properly

Candidates should arrive at interview knowing what we know about the opportunity. That creates better conversations, better-informed decisions and fewer surprises later in the process.

Contingent and retained recruitment

For most assignments we offer a contingent, success-only recruitment service. For senior, specialist or confidential appointments, retained executive search can provide a more targeted approach.
