Case studies & testimonials

Head of Financial Planning - successful and respected law firm

We were contacted by the firm, as this was a senior appointment, and whilst the client had already met some strong candidates, they hadn’t quite met the brief. The role was very attractive, but as the firm is based outside of London, the available talent pool was smaller than normal.

We followed our proven search process - networking, database research, and direct candidate approach - and shortlisted exclusively within four weeks. The appointed candidate has since proven to be a highly successful hire.

We were exclusively appointed by the client, and we shortlisted within four weeks of being briefed. This resulted in a highly qualified candidate being appointed, who has since gone on to be a very successful hire.

Leading bank

Fram were contact by a client in the banking industry, who were keen to understand the talent pool better within the senior finance market. They had a particular challenge and transformation they wanted to embark on and it was apparent to them that they required different skills than they currently had within their business.

To ensure that they start on the right path, and to challenge their own thinking on the best way to resource the project, the client asked if we could help them understand the available talent pool. This project was to understand how readily available a specific skillset was, to see if anybody had successfully completed a similar project, and of course they wanted to understand the likely cost implications of such a project.

Fram worked with the client to agree a timetable for delivery and we kept the client informed throughout the project of our progress. Due to the strength of our research we were able to give them insight into the market within two weeks of being instructed.

In this situation, the client benefitted from our research expertise, our GDPR compliant process, and this was all done without eating into their exiting team's resources or time.

A fast growing wealth manager, who were recruiting in multiple areas of the business.

Fram’s unique structure was ideally suited to our client’s needs, as we give clients access to the knowledge of our entire team, rather than one individual. This approach combines improved resourcing and screening with knowledge of the dynamics and terminology of the industry. Providing the client with one relationship manager, supported by specialist consultants with functional expertise relevant to the individual role, we were able to help the firm hire across multiple areas.

We were initially asked to assist our client hire an Investment Manager. The role required some additional skills to the usual IM profile, but we were still able to build a shortlist from our database. However, we wanted to go a step further to get the best outcome, and so we spoke to people in our network to gather their views on suitable candidates. It was from this networking process that we found the appointee.

The client then asked us to assist with a senior operations hire. The relationship manager at Fram put together a different team to support the client and source the best available talent for the position. Again, we were successful in placing a high quality candidate. The feedback we received was very positive and we look forward to continuing to support this growing firm.

Your assistance in introducing the two candidates has been excellent, the broader assistance in pointing candidates towards me has also been a very satisfactory. I can see that not only did you grasp my need for specific candidates, you also demonstrated a rare ability to focus attention on the quality of the candidates and not quantity of candidates.

This has brought about a really good engagement experience with Fram Search
