East
Partnership.
Specialist Talent. Trusted Partners.
In the financial services sector, recruitment is a fine balance between art and science. At East Partnership, we combine both approaches – using insight and connections to find the optimum recruitment outcome.
Who
We Are.
A collective source of insight & support.
Established in 2011, East Partnership has become one of Australia’s most trusted executive search firms. With our collective experience across the financial services sector, we offer a rare level of insight into areas such as investment banking, private equity and asset management – niches where specialist expertise and discretion make all the difference.
While each East Partnership team member has different personalities and strengths, we share a common intellectual curiosity, a discreet consultative way of working, and a desire to add long-term value to candidates and clients alike.

How We
Can Help.
Elevating the art of executive search.
There’s more to financial services recruitment than simply finding a quality candidate. It’s also vital to consider team compositions, culture fit, longer-term career development as well as movements in legislation and ever-changing market conditions. At East Partnership, we take a holistic and highly responsive approach to advising clients, focusing on long-term success for everyone involved.
We specialise in the Australian market but also work across Hong Kong and Singapore. We have a particularly strong track record in investment banking, private equity, infrastructure and renewable energy, listed asset management, superannuation funds, capital raising, corporate development and strategy.
Proactive identification of talent for clients.
Provision of market intelligence around salaries, bonus trends, sign-ons, guarantees and lock-ins.
Career management for individuals.
Development of organisational structures and position descriptions.
Advising on the depth of available talent pools.
