We build genuine client relationships, not transactional ones and we prioritise the candidate's long term career over the short term job placement.

Over the years, our approach has been noticed and is often reflected in the feedback that we receive.  

First Point Partners are my go-to for reviewing available talent pool for investment professional roles at the fund level or M&A roles at portfolio companies.

They invest time to learn your business, understand your needs, and build a trusting relationship so there is an effective recruitment process that achieves the successful result.

Additionally, their engagement does not end after formal hiring and onboarding.

First Point Partners, one of the very few private equity recruitment firms that truly get it.

Lika really 'gets' us. She presents strong candidates quickly when we are running a process and even keeps us updated on market dynamics when we are not hiring.

She openly shares her network and has broached introductions with other members of the investment community to help us become more established in a region we previously had no presence in.

She is not your typical recruiter.

I met Anna a few years before she recruited me, at a career event in London. I was pleasantly surprised that she stayed in touch and kept me in mind until the ideal job offer appeared. Anna helped me at every stage of the recruitment process. She made sure I was thoroughly prepared for each interview and gave me useful insights on the team and culture I was about to join.

She was professional, discrete and made sure to get the job done. Most importantly she was mindful that the new job was a big change in my life.

I was recommended to speak with Lika and now I understand why! Thank you so much for your time and advice on a whole number of areas. I only wish I had spoken to you earlier in my career.

Despite knowing me for one hour everything she said about the type of work I would most enjoy was scarily accurate.

I value her insight as it helped me move forwards in my career with more assurance.

The combination of industry knowledge and sincere interest in my career made it the first such professional recruitment in which I have participated.

I am glad that FPP found me at the right time, despite the non-obvious professional profile.

The support that Anna has provided since we started working together is second to none. She has made multiple, crucial hires for our company and will be our go to for all future recruitment needs.

Lika was different as she started by taking the time to understand me as a professional instead of discussing her live role.

She provided useful, objective insight. I came off our call thinking everything she said to me about what motivates me, what kind of environment and role I would be looking for was spot on.

Thank you again, for taking the time to help me.
