I recruit for wealth managers who actually care about their clients.
Specialist search for boutique and independent UK wealth management firms. Senior hires, embedded recruiting, and contingent search — from someone who spent 16 years inside the profession.
Why Credencia.
Most recruitment firms treat wealth management like any other sector. They swap out the job titles, keep the same process, and hope for the best. I don't work that way.
I spent 16 years as the in-house Head of Wealth Management Recruiting at a firm that grew from c.£1bn to £19bn in assets under management. I know what a good WM hire looks like in this profession. Not just the CV, but whether someone will thrive in your culture, hold their own with HNW clients, and still be there in five years.
Credencia exists for firms that take hiring as seriously as they take investment management and planning. I work with a small number of clients, selectively, because that’s the only way to do this properly.
What I do
Retained Search.
For the hires that shape your firm. Leadership, board-level, and senior appointments handled with discretion and rigour. I lead every search personally.
Embedded Recruiting.
A dedicated recruitment partner inside your business, for a flat monthly fee. Continuous pipeline, no per-hire commissions. Ideal for firms scaling across multiple roles.
Contingent Search.
No retainer, no upfront commitment. You only pay when I place someone. The same sector expertise, applied to a single role.
