For employers
Public finance investment banking recruitment
ESP begins with a confidential conversation about the leadership need, the team, and the public-finance market context that informs a thoughtful search.
The search process
A deliberate search, step by step.
Begin with the role, the team, and the business need. A clear search brief makes it easier to evaluate experience and discuss mutual fit.
Discovery & Alignment
We begin with a thorough engagement to understand the role, the team, the culture, and the strategic context. A precise brief is the foundation of a precise search.
Market Research & Mapping
Discuss the experience, sector focus, and market context that matter for this mandate, including professionals who may not be actively seeking a move.
Discreet Outreach
Agree what may be shared before outreach begins. The identity of the firm, the role, and any sensitive context need clear disclosure boundaries.
Evaluation & Presentation
Evaluate relevant experience, interest, and practical fit. Agree the assessment and reference process appropriate to the role before relying on an introduction.
Facilitation & Closing
Clarify interview decisions, offer terms, and transition requirements. Richard can discuss the scope of support appropriate to your engagement.
Define the mandate.
Discuss the level of responsibility and the scope of the engagement directly with Richard.
