First Point Partners are my go-to for reviewing available talent pool for investment professional roles at the fund level or M&A roles at portfolio companies.

They invest time to learn your business, understand your needs, and build a trusting relationship so there is an effective recruitment process that achieves the successful result.

Additionally, their engagement does not end after formal hiring and onboarding.

First Point Partners, one of the very few private equity recruitment firms that truly get it.

Lika really 'gets' us. She presents strong candidates quickly when we are running a process and even keeps us updated on market dynamics when we are not hiring.

She openly shares her network and has broached introductions with other members of the investment community to help us become more established in a region we previously had no presence in.

She is not your typical recruiter.

I met Anna a few years before she recruited me, at a career event in London. I was pleasantly surprised that she stayed in touch and kept me in mind until the ideal job offer appeared. Anna helped me at every stage of the recruitment process. She made sure I was thoroughly prepared for each interview and gave me useful insights on the team and culture I was about to join.

She was professional, discrete and made sure to get the job done. Most importantly she was mindful that the new job was a big change in my life.

I was recommended to speak with Lika and now I understand why! Thank you so much for your time and advice on a whole number of areas. I only wish I had spoken to you earlier in my career.

Despite knowing me for one hour everything she said about the type of work I would most enjoy was scarily accurate.

I value her insight as it helped me move forwards in my career with more assurance.

The combination of industry knowledge and sincere interest in my career made it the first such professional recruitment in which I have participated.

I am glad that FPP found me at the right time, despite the non-obvious professional profile.

The support that Anna has provided since we started working together is second to none. She has made multiple, crucial hires for our company and will be our go to for all future recruitment needs.

Lika was different as she started by taking the time to understand me as a professional instead of discussing her live role.

She provided useful, objective insight. I came off our call thinking everything she said to me about what motivates me, what kind of environment and role I would be looking for was spot on.

Thank you again, for taking the time to help me.

Cooperation with FPP was very seamless. They accompanied me on every step on the interview process from first interview to negotiation of the final offer. Always available and eager to help.

I highly recommend cooperation with them!

There are not enough words to express my gratitude for all the career guidance, sincere encouragement, and dedication I have received from Lika and her team.

They have gone above and beyond to ensure the success of my job application, spending countless hours over the phone, offering guidance and support at every step of the process. It is quite rare that one meets someone with so much empathy, dedication, and intelligence, yet to have all of these qualities in your recruiter is a definite recipe for success

It is with all my sincerity that I recommend Lika and her team to everyone I know, and will continue to do so for many years to come. A heartfelt thank you!

Working with the First Point Partners team was a pleasure from the very first day. They acted professional and disciplined throughout the whole process.

FPP had extensive knowledge about the company and the position they were offering. They were also helpful about amending my CV

Worth highlighting is the fact that the team keep regular contact with candidates after the recruitment process, ensuring everything is going smoothly.

I would recommend working with them.

First Point Partners came highly recommended to us.

They ran a smooth, efficient process. In the span of a few weeks I had given out offers to two candidates.

Lika had not only found me the exact person I was looking for, but presented another individual opportunistically who could really add value to our team.
