From our start on the dining room table in July 1995, RBA Ltd proved to be a highly effective and innovative recruiter in sourcing and placing staff with global investment houses, banking and life companies, and national and regional IFAs. We consistently proved to be more than competitive against global recruiters in placing senior fund managers on the UK, Japanese and small companies’ desks, heads of marketing and research, and a wide range of other key head office roles, encompassing change management, process re-engineering, performance measurement and compliance. In nearly all cases, the successful applicants were sourced by direct headhunting approaches and networking.

Notable achievements:
  • placed over 50% of a national accounts IFA sales team
  • placed over 30 IFAs from Devon to Aberdeen with a leading national IFA network, including two of their field compliance managers
  • recruited the Head of Marketing Communications and Research for a leading life house
  • recruited the Head of Marketing for a global consultancy practice

Recruitment is an expensive and major investment for any company and when the wheels come off the wagon it can be traumatic and damaging both for the staff member as well as for you, the client. It can result in a lack of productivity in the employee in the run up to handing in and working their notice, expensive recruitment costs such as agency fees, advertising and lost management time. The cost of working with a member of staff who is not up to speed, and then the cost of repeating it all over again if the recruitment ends up being incorrect, is a high price to pay.

As one of our ongoing projects we are also acting as an initial ‘sifting’ centre for a UK client who needs to take the pressure of its Head Office function. In the same way, we can carry out all your initial screening before presenting candidates for interview. We will always be flexible to fit around your business needs.

All we need from you is a detailed briefing, firm job description and person specification so we can go to the market and source untapped potential, and to this end we offer a bespoke service.
