About Capital8
I am an independent recruiter, specialising in sourcing top-tier talent for the financial services sector. With expertise in wealth management, capital markets, financial planning, payments, corporate finance, risk, and compliance, I focus on mid to senior-level roles, both permanent and interim.
​
Unlike larger agencies, I work exclusively on a one-to-one basis—no junior recruiters, no handovers, just a completely confidential, discreet, and highly personalised service. Every search is tailored, ensuring the best fit for both clients and candidates in an increasingly competitive market.
