We build genuine client relationships, not transactional ones and we prioritise the candidate's long term career over the short term job placement.

Over the years, our approach has been noticed and is often reflected in the feedback that we receive.  

I found Lika empathetic, understanding and helpful. She did not have a live opportunity for me but did facilitate a number of useful introductions which led to me accepting an offer for an Investment Manager role

I valued her help during what was a very difficult time for me.

I met Anna during a selection process she was managing, her professionalism, passion and curiosity got me inspired.

She's a rising star in her field. Definitely someone to keep an eye on.

If you have any opportunity to cooperate with her, don't hesitate.

Helpful, insightful and honest feedback. Lika was interested in my career and me as a person instead of just trying to discuss one of her roles. Only recruiter I have spoken to that truly understood me. Thank you!

Anna contacted me about 1.5 years ago with the first job offer - but at the time I was not interested in changing positions. However, she promised that if she found something more interesting, she would come back.

A year later, she called me again with a new offer - M&A Manager position at a smaller PE-backed company. I was not 100% sure at first, but she patiently listened to my concerns and frankly discussed the pros and cons of changing roles with me. At the moment I am 6 months after the change and I am convinced that it was a good choice.

Anna is open-minded, listens carefully, and thinks about what is best for the candidate and his/her future career. She certainly has the best job offers in the PE industry in Poland. It is worth having her number in your phone.

I was assisted by Lika on understanding where my strengths and niche was within the private equity fundraising space.

We spent a few sessions strategising a move from the consulting world to Private Equity and with the assistance of Lika and her network, I was able to speak and discuss the move with peers to truly understand the role and responsibilities.

I want to thank Lika for all your support and guidance it assisting me finding my true potential!

Lika was one of the few individuals who helped me in a profound manner on my professional journey. I was recommended to speak with her by a contact just as I started to explore my options.

She took the time to talk with me on the phone, meeting me for coffee to go through my CV and introduced me to relevant people in the industry to help me network.

She provided valuable advice -it meant a great deal to me!

I'm writing to express my appreciation for the recruitment process. Martyna presented the necessary information to me and answered all of my questions.

Throughout the recruitment process, the FPP team was very supportive and helpful in facilitating communication between the hiring company and me.

Thank you!

Thanks to Anna’s commitment and guidance I have found a position best suited for my needs and capabilities and successfully advance my career. I received an in-depth overview of the private equity industry and available positions in Warsaw, as well as pro tips and insight into the recruitment process.

Really appreciated Lika's advice and the time she took to go through my options with me.

Now I am no longer a candidate, we continue working together but from the client side. I have experienced first hand the care and genuine approach Lika takes to the recruitment process and could not think of anyone more trustworthy to help me build out my team!
