Practice areas

Alex and his team were brilliant in finding me a role that would really launch my career into the next phase. The team took care to keep me updated, to share their research and help me in the process with tips and hints. Their dedication, work ethics and care are really impressive. The team is definitely among the top performers in their field.

"We’ve had an excellent experience partnering with Laz Partners for multiple hires into our fixed income group at Aviva Investors. Their deep industry knowledge, targeted approach, and commitment to finding the right fit have made them a trusted recruitment partner for us"

"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."

"After spending seven years within the hedge fund industry, Laz Partners helped me to move on to the next step in my career. Alex is to the point and efficient in the way that he works and we developed a good relationship. His network is vast and highly trustworthy. I would highly recommend Alex's services."

"I cannot recommend Laz Partners highly enough. Right from the onset, Alex understood my situation and ambitions, while also demonstrating an impressive understanding of the broader industry. Throughout my interview process, Alex was there to listen and advise: he became a stakeholder in my career. After I began my new role, Alex continued to check in with me, ensuring my expectations were being met. Alex stands head and shoulders above his competitors, distinguished by his honesty and genuine care for his clients."

Amar approached me with a role that aligned well with my skills and experience. His professionalism and prompt communication made the entire process smooth and straightforward. I would recommend Amar to anyone looking to connect with the right opportunities

"Alex is incredibly thorough and detail-orientated when it comes to finding the right job or the right candidate. He has helpful insights into the job profile and the team dynamics. He understands the industry very well and invests in building long-lasting relationships."

"I have nothing but great things to say about Alex. He distinguishes himself as a very switched on professional and has successfully helped me in to my current role. His personal attention to candidates makes him stand out in this competitive industry. He has extensive industry knowledge and is honest, works hard and delivers (no false promises during interview processes-perfect expectation management. I can only highly recommend Alex and his firm."

"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."

"Having worked with Laz Partners on a recent hire for a Credit Analyst, Alex demonstrated exceptional industry knowledge. His expertise and dedication were evident as he identified and shared with us a number of candidates who met our specific requirements. Alex’s insights on the market and guidance throughout the hiring process were very helpful, giving us further conviction in our decision to hire the right candidate in the end. Working with Alex was a pleasure and I would highly recommend him to any firms that are looking to expand their investment teams."

"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"

"Belén was professional and understood buy-side roles and their requirements. She considered my investment process and got directly in touch with her extensive network. Belén knew her clients as well as the different steps in their recruitment process. She was also very helpful in communicating with them. Recommended recruiter."

I have nothing but great things to say about Sven. He’s worked with me to successfully place me in my current role. In a competitive industry, his personal attention to the candidates stands out. He is honest, works hard and delivers, ensuring a fit in terms of skill-set as much as in terms of culture

"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."

"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 would like to thank Sven for his hard work, dedication and how easy it's been to interact with him. I won't hesitate to recommend Sven and to ask for his expertise if I have to hire a new strategist "

"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.”

"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 was extremely helpful in my search for a new job opportunity. His knowledge of the interview process and the company that was hiring was very valuable. I felt very prepared thanks to Sven. I can only recommend Sven and Laz Partners for their high-level professionalism.
