In an environment where demand for skilled human capital exceeds supply,

Jefferson Young excels at acquiring talent for our clients.

We have an established reputation in the Financial Services, Professional

Services, Digital and Technology markets.

With offices in London and Stockholm and a partnership with CTI Services

GmbH in Frankfurt, we offer a wide geographic reach with particular

emphasis on the UK, Western Europe, Nordics, Benelux, Central and

Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

We provide capability throughout the hierarchy of client organisations,

including chairmen and non-executive directors. Our candidates will be the

cornerstone of our clients’ ambitions for the future.

The process we go through to match clients’ requirements is meticulous,

professional and precise, delivering thorough and timely results.

Assignments are undertaken by highly experienced consultants with sound

understanding of their sectors, and a comprehensive international track

record behind them.

About us

Central to our approach is our belief in building strong, long-lasting

relationships through incorporating fresh thinking, flexibility and quality.

That means acquiring a thorough understanding of a client’s business

objectives and culture; and a detailed appreciation of our candidates’ skills,

character and ambitions.

Our role is that of a trusted partner – an objective, expert consultant acting

equally in everyone’s interests to bring the right parties together.

Challenging where appropriate but committed to a successful outcome.

Pivotal to this approach is a sound knowledge of our sectors: while no two

businesses are the same, every sector also has its own, specific demands.

We will not undertake a brief if we feel we cannot add value to the

recruitment process through our knowledge and expertise.

The right solution is not always the obvious one - It’s the one that works.

Our philosophy

Jefferson Young provides a highly focused, discreet and professional talent

acquisition service: an approach proven to deliver consistent results.

By thoroughly analysing our clients’ requirements at the beginning of every

assignment, we develop a detailed candidate briefing document ready to

take to market.

Only by understanding our clients business, strategy and culture, and

agreeing on the criteria which will determine success, can we expect to

deliver successful results.

We are constantly undertaking relevant market research to ensure that our

knowledge of our sectors and our clients’ competitors is right up to date,

allowing each new search to benefit from fresh research material.

Our insight into what makes individuals excel - both from a client and

candidate perspective - enables us to deliver the best cultural match for

employer and employee, critical if each placement is to add value both to a

company’s business and to an employee’s career.

Our approach

Jefferson Young focuses on specific key market segments:

• Financial Services.

• Technology, Digital & e-commerce.

• Risk, Regulation & Compliance.

• Professional Services.

• FMCG

• Outsourcing

These specialisms have developed over many years of successful delivery:

our consultants possess a deep understanding of their sectors and the

defining industry players, together with the commercial and economic

factors shaping their present and their future.

Within these sectors we constantly approach and attract leaders driving

businesses across all disciplines.

Expertise

The Advisory Board of Jefferson Young was established to give a wide-

ranging, cross-industry insight into our sectors of interest. Its members,

leading figures from established and emerging companies, gain from a

stimulating and intimate forum in which they can come together and talk

confidentially about the opportunities and challenges we face.

The Board members are recognised as experts in their fields who provide a

wealth of experience and perspective through their sector knowledge.

The Advisory Board helps to guide the activities of Jefferson Young by

identifying common opportunities and issues that key executives face and,

crucially, is a partnership in which the value flows both ways.

Clients and candidates also gain because the Advisory Board gives us a

diverse, broad and balanced range of skill sets and experience spanning

the clients we work with.

Our advisory board are available to meet with our network to offer in-depth,

impartial opinion and advice.

Start-up

JY partner with early stage mentoring and investment funds that enable us

to match start up businesses to the right networks, ensuring a faster,

focussed route to launch or growth.

Jefferson Young deliver innovative recruitment solutions that enable early

stage companies to target the highly successful individuals that are not

actively investigating new career opportunities. Whilst online recruitment

portals have their place and serve a purpose, we believe that critical hiring

decisions should not be made purely on a shortlist of actively looking

candidates.

Our Ecosystem is a partnership that we have created with trusted

organisations that allow us to deliver considerable insight to our clients on

topics that maybe fundamental to their business strategy.

We operate a “symbiotic” relationship with our partners, enabling member

organisations to enlist the specific capability of their fellow partner

organisations. This delivers the added capability to provide insight and

strategy over and above competitors in their sector, resulting in the creation

of a relationship that is truly significant with clients as it is seen to truly add-

value.

At the current time the impact of regulation in the financial services

community is paramount in the minds of all businesses that have

involvement within the sector, be they institutions or suppliers. It will result

in the need for organisations to construct strategy that will have deep

impact on commercial approach, technology enablement as well as the

focus of risk and regulatory compliance.

The Jefferson Young Eco-system currently provides free events specifically

targeted at this issue.
