Why Choose Us?

Choose Peritum Executive Search for your recruitment needs because of our deep expertise in the financial services sector industry. With over 25 years of experience, we have firsthand knowledge of the sector and a vast network of professionals.

Our Approach

We employ a proactive Headhunt approach for every position we recruit. The most exceptional candidates are typically thriving in roles with competitors, making them unlikely to actively seek new opportunities. Engaging with these individuals demands a unique strategy, one that hinges on a profound understanding of our clients' businesses, cultures, and specific needs. This level of insight is often perceived as lacking by top-tier candidates.

Industry-Focused Expertise

In the ever-evolving landscape of the financial service sector, executive roles encompass a diverse array of responsibilities and specialisations. From Non-Executive Directors (NED) and C-suite executives to various managerial and specialist roles like Business Development Manager and Risk Director, the industry demands diverse expertise and a deep understanding of market dynamics.

 

At Peritum Executive Search, we specialise in identifying and recruiting top-tier talent across various financial services functions, ensuring that our clients have access to the best minds in the business. Whether you're seeking a visionary leader to steer your company's financial strategy or a seasoned analyst to optimise your investment portfolio, we have the industry-focused expertise to match your needs with precision and insight.

How does Peritum prioritise user-friendly interactions for clients and candidates?

Keeping the recruitment process simple is at the heart of how we operate. We have done our “fair share” of hiring over the years and understand the correct level of detail required to attract the very top talent for our clients.

Candidates benefit from our deep understanding of each role and company we recruit for, ensuring that they can make an informed decision about how roles we’re hiring may fit with their own career objectives and preferences.

How does Peritum build and sustain trust with clients and candidates?

Many of our client and candidate relationships span over two decades. We consistently operate with integrity and ensure that we prioritise the interests of our clients, often ahead of our own immediate financial gain. By obsessively focusing on fostering sustainable partnerships, we avoid the common pitfalls encountered by the “transactional” masses.
