Investment Management

We partner with Institutional Asset Managers from top tier to boutique firms, Custodians, Sovereign Wealth Funds, Hedge Funds, Private Equity Funds, Family Offices and Private Banking / Wealth Managers. We offer front to back office solutions for our clients, completing mandates at Analyst through to C-Suite levels, utilising a range of sourcing methods that provide access to a wide network of Investment Management professionals who we work closely with. Each Consultant is a specialist within their specific remit, which allows their relationships to be the strongest in the industry.

Hedge Funds

Our Hedge Fund practice provides a holistic solution for funds and has supported clients globally across all strategies from bulge bracket brands to start-ups and boutique houses. We specialize in finding the highest calibre candidates who are generated by head hunting instead of traditional job boards and advertising methods. As consultants, we are immersed in the market and are confident operating at a senior level, partnering with funds to offer an advisory service and add value outside of recruitment. We have a track record for providing hard-to-find talent for some of the most demanding hedge fund clients, understanding the nuances of the industry. We work across the board with some of the most recognizable brands and also exciting start-ups.

Clients we’ve worked with

Testimonials

We have been using the Goodman Masson team for a number of hires in our middle office function and have been working with Mia in particular over the past few months. Mia has been excellent at understanding our needs and requirements and importantly providing quality candidates. It is clear she has vetted them before sending them to us and provided a very good summary of the candidate which is even more important given how busy our days can be.  This has allowed us to narrow down candidates which saves a huge chunk of time.

Mia has been approachable and always happy to talk through any questions we have on a candidate and in general the market itself. It is clear Mia is passionate about her role and her clients she represents, periodically checking in on their behalf for an update. We look forward to a long partnership with Mia

Head of Operations, Attestor Capital

My experience working with Mia was positive from start to finish.

From providing a good range of candidates, to supporting and background information, to administering the process, Mia was exceptional. The candidate Mia provided and we ultimately hired has worked out perfectly.

COO, Pantechnicon

I worked for several years with Mia at Goodman Masson and she is one of the hardest working people I know. Mia is incredibly tenacious and won’t give up until she finds the right candidate for a role. She’s very effective at managing candidates from beginning to end to ensure obstacles don’t arise as a recruitment process is executed. I’d highly recommend her for any roles, including particularly tricky or niche roles that a recruiter who wasn’t as hard working may give up on!
