At Fram Search, we are proud to be a trusted partner for wealth management firms in Edinburgh and across Scotland. With over a decade of experience in wealth management recruitment, we have helped build teams for some of the most respected firms in the industry across the UK, from independent financial advisers (IFAs) to private banks and investment managers. Edinburgh’s status as a key financial hub, alongside its vibrant wealth management sector, makes it a prime location for top-tier financial talent—and we are here to help firms find the professionals they need to thrive.

Our expertise spans all critical roles within a wealth management firm, including financial advisers, compliance professionals, T&C managers, paraplanners, and administrators. Whether your firm is a regional specialist, a national consolidator, or an independent adviser looking to grow, we understand the unique needs of Scotland’s wealth management firms and the qualities that make candidates stand out.

Edinburgh’s long-standing reputation as a financial centre makes it a vital location for wealth management recruitment. The city is home to a wide range of financial institutions, from boutique IFAs to larger wealth managers, each contributing to a vibrant local economy. While Scotland’s capital is a natural magnet for financial talent, it also faces challenges in attracting and retaining the right people for critical roles.

Firms in Edinburgh must navigate a highly competitive recruitment landscape, where demand for experienced paraplanners, compliance professionals, and advisers often outstrips supply. This is where Fram Search excels. By leveraging our extensive networks and expertise, we ensure that clients in Edinburgh and beyond can find the talent they need to grow and succeed.

At Fram Search, we take a tailored approach to wealth management recruitment. With a deep understanding of the industry, our consultants are skilled in identifying professionals who not only meet the technical requirements of a role but also align with a firm’s culture and values.

Our recruitment process is backed by a state-of-the-art database populated with highly skilled wealth management professionals, and we employ dedicated researchers to engage passive candidates—those who may not be actively searching but are open to the right opportunity. This proactive approach ensures our clients have access to the best talent, even in a competitive market like Edinburgh.

Additionally, we are proud to offer a candidate-centric recruitment process. We understand that a positive experience for candidates is key to securing top talent, so we ensure every interaction reflects the professionalism and reputation of our client firms.

By understanding the specific demands of each role, we are able to deliver candidates who are not only qualified but also a great fit for the firm’s team and long-term goals.

Scotland’s wealth management sector is a unique blend of heritage and innovation. Many firms are rooted in strong traditions of client service and community trust, while also embracing modern technology and forward-thinking business strategies.
