About Optima
Understanding your market
Prior to joining the team, each member has spent a considerable amount of time in the Financial Services Industry. Russell Murray worked for a major private bank and Neil Beresford came from the Wealth Management Industry. How many recruitment companies can draw upon nearly 65 years combined experience.
What does this mean to you? Well we've built up a very long well respected track record, robust industry relationships and a solid understanding of the market.
Bespoke
We are not generalist in our intentions, we have a specific niche focus and consultative approach. Rather than working with the companies that have the largest number of requirements, we work for the companies who have the best roles. For our clients, it's not about who is on a database, but who is absolutely the most suitable person for a particular assignment.
Valuing our advice
We invest time and effort in building close relationships with our clients and candidates. They come to us for advice and guidance. They listen to what we say; so when we recommend an individual, our candidates benefit from the respect we have earned over time, and our clients benefit from our knowledge of the candidate, their career matrix and their reputation in the market.
Regular contact to develop a better understanding
We are very proud to say that we have low staff turnover. Our clients and candidates can rest assured that they won't be dealing with a different consultant every time they call; It will be the same person at the end of the phone.
