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.
