All our consultants are former full time Compliance practitioners and since our MD (David Symes, a former Deputy Head of Compliance for a FTSE 100 Insurance & Investments Group) first started the firm in 1996, we have developed a reputation with our clients as the most professional recruitment consultancy in ethics & service as well as technical knowledge across both Compliance and Financial Crime, whilst David still works with trade bodies eg runs the Institute of Chartered Accountants Compliance Group, sits on the Board of MLROS.com and until recently chaired ACAMS UK Chapter. Thus as genuine experts, we never waste your (or your) clients time with unsuitable cvs as to sector or exact functional skillsets, whilst can fairly advise as to salary for the desired seniority & skillset of role (or vice versa as to what to expect for a given budget).

Additionally David worked as a part time Compliance Consultant from 1997 to 2008 thus has a good understanding of how consultancies work and their needs although no longer offers consulting services himself (apart from acting as an NED to firms seeking authorisation) whilst we also operate in Dublin, Geneva, Luxembourg & Madrid, all in partnership with locally based Compliance Officers (though all originally professionally qualified in the UK) if you or your clients need support operating or recruiting in those countries.

So whether you are recruiting permanent or temporary resources for your own firm (where we offer a discount to APCC members) or for clients (where we have successfully partnered with several APCC member firms over many years and can offer introductory commissions), please contact David for an initial discussion/meeting.
