The Laz Partners difference

Industry knowledge on another level

We aren’t just specialists within our individual asset classes. We are shamelessly nerdy about getting to grips with every part of markets at a microscopic level. It is why clients and candidates can’t believe we haven’t worked in the industry before recruiting for it, and it’s what drives forward our intellectual curiosity.

Well-placed confidence

Our confidence in our ability is far from misplaced, and yours isn’t either. With a 100% success rate on all retained searches since inception and with 97% of candidates still in their role 12 months after being placed, contributing to high performance and results, we can say with true conviction that we will find your perfect candidate.

Reputation with benefits

Over 85% of our business originates from inbound referrals. We have established and continue to build a reputation that is built on delivering the highest quality results, with the best service imaginable. In a technical market with lots of competition, our advice carries meaningful value.

Data. It’s in our D.N.A

Our data-led, analytical approach is what drives us forward every single day. Whether it’s improving fill ratios or accelerating time to complete searches. We measure every single metric possible to ensure marginal gains are made across all areas, all the time, to deliver optimal results for our partners.

Past successes in their own words

Our reputation matters. We are proud to be a trusted partner to several of the world’s most well-respected financial institutions. Whether working on single hires or full team build-outs in portfolio management, trading, or research, our exceptional results keep us at the forefront of the industry.

"Tom was a terrific help in securing a new role for me. Communication was spot on from start to finish and enabled me to gain comfort in the suitability of the role and go through the recruitment process in a seamless manner, despite timings being pressured on my side due to personal circumstances. Highly recommend Tom and Laz Partners - keep up the great work!"

"I have been working with Alex & Laz Partners for years. He has done a fantastic job in helping me build a team of top macro fixed income PMs, all performing beyond expectations. I appreciate his ability to source very specific profiles across seniority, skill set, personality, and ability to fit in the team. I recommended Alex to other departments to attract the best talent and I will work with him again when my team next expands.”

Clément Guennec
Managing Director (Macro Investments)
Apollo Global Management
December 2023

"From my first conversation with Alex about the prospective opportunity, it was clear that he really understood the needs of the role, what the business was looking for in a candidate, and whether it was right for me. He really took the briefing for the interview seriously and provided me with useful colour on the interviews and interviewees, which really helped me with my preparation and approach the meeting with confidence. From start to finish, he has been highly responsive and transparent with feedback on how the process was going. It was a pleasure working with him and I would highly recommend him and Laz Partners"

"Sven demonstrated himself to be an outstanding professional, showing great attention to detail and significant and thorough technical knowledge of the capital markets industry. He provided me with comprehensive and effective advice on the job opportunity I eventually took, with great timing and full transparency. I can only recommend Sven and Laz Partners for their high-level professionalism"

"Sven is the best recruitment consultant I have dealt with. I would say the words cannot describe the joy I felt when landing my new job position at Union Bancaire Privée (London branch). A real dream coming true, largely thanks to Sven and his devoted work and support throughout the entire recruitment process. Sven is best described as a very friendly and helpful person, always available to help and answer any questions, never missing a follow-up call and providing valuable inputs/suggestions. An absolute credit to the profession."

"Having worked closely with Alex and Laz Partners to secure my most recent role, the team has high work ethics, an extensive network of connections, and a profound knowledge of the industry, not only in the UK but also elsewhere. He is highly reliable, delivers on words and promises (sometimes over-delivers) and makes the rather lengthy and occasionally stressful process of recruitment very comfortable and reassuring for his candidates. I enjoyed working with him throughout and I am grateful for the patience and support that he has offered me. I could reach out to him and count on his advice and help anytime and as result I have developed friendship with him."

"Alex understands perfectly the requirements a PM is after when thinking of moving firms, while coming up with out-of-the-box ideas both in terms of firms and set-ups. The communication on the various steps, from initial thoughts to contract signing is seamless and he makes sure at every step to show the tradeoffs between various choices. In my experience, the lack of tailor-made solutions for PM searches has made me reluctant to engage with headhunters. With Alex, I have found a partner that understands my needs and gives me the no bullshit view on the different approaches I can take with my search."

Samuel Gruen
Senior Macro Credit Portfolio Manager
Rothschild Asset Management
October 2023

"Alex and the team at Laz Partners have excelled in multiple searches for us. The team take the time to understand our requirements and find us a deep pool of candidates with a variety of backgrounds. Feedback from the new joiners on their experience with Laz Partners has always been positive."

Michael Sneyd
Head of Macro Quant and Derivatives Strategy

"We couldn’t be happier with the service that Laz Partners provided. They helped us navigate probably one of the most challenging job markets to find and secure new talent for years. Throughout the hiring process, Laz partners inspired confidence and trust. From being very responsive, to providing frequent proactive updates, they demonstrated that they were on top of everything, which made the whole process as smooth and as stress-free as it can be. Just as importantly, Laz partners did a fantastic job of keeping candidates engaged and building a relationship with them which ultimately resulted in us securing our top picks."

Paul Hollingsworth
Chief European Economist
BNP Paribas

"Alex arrived a little by chance with a very special profile. I didn't particularly have an immediate need, but Alex was able to highlight the candidate's qualities, which enabled me to create a tailor-made position that was very complementary to our expertise, providing real additional know-how.  All this was achieved through a very straightforward and direct relationship that was pleasant, attentive and flexible."

Emmanuel Petit
Partner and Head of Fixed income
Rothschild Asset Management
February 2023

"We have worked with Laz Partners on a range of investment strategy and economist roles over the last [6 years]. Alex and the team have always done a great job utilising their extensive knowledge of the market to identify a long-list of potential candidates and then work with us to refine that to a short list for interview. By working closely with us on identifying the right type of candidates for the role, engaging with both us and them throughout the process and following up after the hiring decision, we have had very successful outcomes in each case."

Michael Grady
Head of Investment Strategy & Chief Economist
Aviva Investors
September 2023

"We recently hired Laz Partners to help us in our search for a Credit Analyst. The service provided was excellent from the initial assessment of our needs to the proposed candidate list and finally the management of interviews and offer stage. Alex Lazaridis and Sven Dwars were very professional, always available for an update and keeping everyone engaged until the last minute. Laz Partners’ expertise in the credit job market is unparalleled in my view. I would highly recommend them to any buy-side firm looking to expand their credit business"
