Recruiting Across London's Banking and Advisory Districts
Desk mandates vary by bank, industry group, product and transaction profile. We check the specific team's requirements before screening candidates, including technical responsibilities, compensation and realistic working arrangements.
The same analyst or associate title can cover very different work across M&A, DCM, ECM, leveraged finance and restructuring. Effective sourcing begins with actual deal responsibilities and the skills a new joiner will need in the first months.
