Executive recruitment in financial services requires the highest standards of customer service. Having Service Excellence as one of our core values, therefore, drives us to constantly evaluate our service quality and look for improvements. We do this by regularly gathering customer feedback and then using that information to inform ongoing training and development initiatives for our consultants.

This commitment to continuous improvement is a key reason why our Net Promoter Score (NPS) positions us amongst the best companies in the world and ahead of other financial services search firms for customer satisfaction and loyalty.
