Anna has an outstanding attitude and great people skills. She is very enthusiastic, energetic and fully engaged in her job. She works hard, is very focused, determined and does not give up easily. She is a trustworthy and loyal person.

Working with her is a pure pleasure.

I first met Lika 7 years ago when I wanted to land a role in private equity. She met me for coffee when no other recruiter would give me the time of day.

Lika no nonsense told me I was completely irrelevant for the industry and outlined what experience I needed.

Over the years she had coached me through interview processes, helped edit my CV and acted as my mentor at every step of the way. She really believed in me.

Now I am working in an established private equity fund. I would not be where I am today if not for her.

I cannot speak highly enough of Lika and recommend her to everyone I meet.

As a candidate to the Investment Team, I was delighted with the engagement and targeted approach of First Point Partners in the recruitment process.

It was evident that FPP devoted time to learning the roles they were recruiting for. They not only understood the business of private equity, but also knew the specific approach of their client.

Lika is extremely thoughtful and really understands the pain of CEOs. She has a great network and works hard until she delivers.

Lika is unlike other recruiters in that she took the time to really understand what I wanted from my career in the medium and long term.

She looks beyond what is written down on a CV and tries to understand you holistically and then looks to provide insightful and objective guidance which I found very beneficial.

Thanks to Anna’s commitment and guidance I have found a position best suited for my needs and capabilities and successfully advance my career. I received an in-depth overview of the private equity industry and available positions in Warsaw, as well as pro tips and insight into the recruitment process.

With the help of First Point Partners, my job transition went seamlessly and I was able to maximize my chances.

More than a search firm, First Point Partners are a trusted career advisor for professionals in the Private Equity Industry.

Beyond their strong pipeline of opportunities, they invest the time to find the perfect fit for a candidate based not purely on experience but taking also personal fit and preferences into consideration.

I can trust that they understand my expectations and always reach out with spot-on opportunities.

Really appreciated Lika's advice and the time she took to go through my options with me.

Now I am no longer a candidate, we continue working together but from the client side. I have experienced first hand the care and genuine approach Lika takes to the recruitment process and could not think of anyone more trustworthy to help me build out my team!

I'm writing to express my appreciation for the recruitment process. Martyna presented the necessary information to me and answered all of my questions.

Throughout the recruitment process, the FPP team was very supportive and helpful in facilitating communication between the hiring company and me.

Thank you!

Lika was one of the few individuals who helped me in a profound manner on my professional journey. I was recommended to speak with her by a contact just as I started to explore my options.

She took the time to talk with me on the phone, meeting me for coffee to go through my CV and introduced me to relevant people in the industry to help me network.

She provided valuable advice -it meant a great deal to me!

I was assisted by Lika on understanding where my strengths and niche was within the private equity fundraising space.

We spent a few sessions strategising a move from the consulting world to Private Equity and with the assistance of Lika and her network, I was able to speak and discuss the move with peers to truly understand the role and responsibilities.

I want to thank Lika for all your support and guidance it assisting me finding my true potential!

Anna contacted me about 1.5 years ago with the first job offer - but at the time I was not interested in changing positions. However, she promised that if she found something more interesting, she would come back.

A year later, she called me again with a new offer - M&A Manager position at a smaller PE-backed company. I was not 100% sure at first, but she patiently listened to my concerns and frankly discussed the pros and cons of changing roles with me. At the moment I am 6 months after the change and I am convinced that it was a good choice.

Anna is open-minded, listens carefully, and thinks about what is best for the candidate and his/her future career. She certainly has the best job offers in the PE industry in Poland. It is worth having her number in your phone.
