Who we areOliver James Associates are a specialist recruitment partner to the Financial Services sector;

finding and placing market-leading talent across the world. When the company originally set

up we were purely focussed on the insurance sector, however we now focus on all areas of

Financial Services.

Due to our unique search methodology, our deep technical knowledge, and our continued

success on delivery we develop long-term relationships based on trust and integrity. Due to

the strength of these relationships we help organisations to attract the most suitable talent in

the market instead of being limited to a list of candidates that are actively seeking jobs. No

other agency has their roots so engrained within the market as we do, and this allows us to find

candidates that no other agency can get access to. This is paramount when the demand for

many skills needed within the sector outweighs the supply of candidates at any one time.

including Executive, Contingent, Retained and Exclusive Solutions. Whichever type of search

we do, the key to our service is our unique proactive search methodology. Before we start

working with clients in a particular area, we spend 12 months minimum mapping that market.

This involves talking to everyone in that market, finding out what they have done in their career

so far, what they currently do and more importantly what they want to do in their next job.

Hence when we start working with clients on vacancies we have a thorough knowledge of the

local talent pool.
