I first met Lika 7 years ago when I wanted to land a role in private equity. She met me for coffee when no other recruiter would give me the time of day.

Lika no nonsense told me I was completely irrelevant for the industry and outlined what experience I needed.

Over the years she had coached me through interview processes, helped edit my CV and acted as my mentor at every step of the way. She really believed in me.

Now I am working in an established private equity fund. I would not be where I am today if not for her.

I cannot speak highly enough of Lika and recommend her to everyone I meet.

Anna has an outstanding attitude and great people skills. She is very enthusiastic, energetic and fully engaged in her job. She works hard, is very focused, determined and does not give up easily. She is a trustworthy and loyal person.

Working with her is a pure pleasure.

As a candidate to the Investment Team, I was delighted with the engagement and targeted approach of First Point Partners in the recruitment process.

It was evident that FPP devoted time to learning the roles they were recruiting for. They not only understood the business of private equity, but also knew the specific approach of their client.

Lika is extremely thoughtful and really understands the pain of CEOs. She has a great network and works hard until she delivers.

I was at crossroads in my career when I was recommended to speak with Lika. Truthfully I didn't know what I wanted to do next.

Lika spent hours on the phone with me - not to pitch me her roles but instead to understand what motivates me and what I wanted from my career. She was non judgemental and insightful, challenging my opinions when necessary and pushing me to succeed when I doubted myself.

Coming off calls with her I always felt more motivated and was finally able to land the perfect role.

Thank you for believing in me and seeing my potential.

Big thank you for our discussion. Lika met me outside of work hours for a coffee to help me think through my career options. Our conversation was deeply insightful and helped me a lot. I hope to work with her again in the future!

Lika is unlike other recruiters in that she took the time to really understand what I wanted from my career in the medium and long term.

She looks beyond what is written down on a CV and tries to understand you holistically and then looks to provide insightful and objective guidance which I found very beneficial.

I am pleased to recommend working with Anna. In cooperation with her, you get to know her as a professional - with a perfect knowledge about the client and the business. She was always very helpful, fully engaged in her job, feedback was on time... everything was prepared quickly and conducted with a positive attitude - exactly the way I like. Anna thank you! Working with you was a pleasure.

Although I was not successful in getting the role, I felt incredibly supported by the FPP team. They made time to speak with me (even late into the night) and genuinely cared about my long term career.

I would be more than happy to continue working with them if new opportunities arise.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Lika for the good part of 5 years, firstly having crossed paths as a colleague and shortly thereafter as my recruitment consultant.

I cannot speak highly enough of her professionalism, dynamism, and sheer passion she has for her job and helping her candidates land their dream job.

Going above and beyond truly is her mantra.
