2. Research

The research team utilises our network of contacts and customised database as well as sourcing on-line research tools such as Bloomberg and Reuters and publications from our library.

After identifying the full population of relevant candidates (mapping the market) by adopting a creative and flexible approach, sourcing external individuals such as ex-employees, brokers and counterparties, they additionally collate information on desk sizes and team structures.

The team then carry out preliminary profiling in order to gauge suitability and interest, working in close partnership with the consultants, who have ultimate responsibility for the quality of the research.

The research process concludes with the production of the long list.
