The recruitment partner finance can trust
In a regulated, high-stakes industry, the right hire matters. Here is why investment banks, asset managers and insurers choose DueDiligence Valens Consultancy.
What makes Valens different
Financial services is all we do
We don't recruit for every industry. Our consultants focus on banking, asset management, insurance and the wider financial sector, so they understand your roles from day one.
Due diligence on every candidate
Verification is part of our name and our process. Employment history, qualifications and references are checked before a candidate reaches your offer stage.
Five markets, one standard
We recruit across the USA, UK, UAE, Singapore and Canada with the same rigorous process, which makes cross-border and multi-location hiring simpler.
Every level, every function
From analysts to Managing Directors, and from front office to risk, compliance and operations, we cover the full structure of a financial institution.
Quality over volume
You receive focused shortlists of screened, interested candidates instead of a pile of unfiltered CVs, which saves your team time.
Discretion as standard
Confidential searches, replacement hires and senior appointments are handled quietly, with information shared only on a need-to-know basis.
Flexible ways to engage
Retained search, contingent recruitment or contract staffing: we match the engagement model to your role and timeline.
Support beyond the offer
We help with offer negotiation, resignation and onboarding, and we follow up after the start date to make sure the placement works.
Specialist vs. general recruitment
How a specialist financial-services partner compares with a typical generalist agency.
| DueDiligence Valens | Typical Generalist Agency | |
|---|---|---|
| Industry focus | ✓ Financial services only | Many industries at once |
| Role knowledge | ✓ Understands financial roles, licences and regulation | Often relies on keyword matching |
| Candidate checks | ✓ Credentials and references verified before shortlist | Checks often left to the employer |
| Shortlists | ✓ Focused, screened and interested candidates | High volume of unfiltered CVs |
| Market coverage | ✓ USA, UK, UAE, Singapore and Canada | Usually limited to one market |
| Senior hiring | ✓ Confidential executive search | Limited discreet search capability |
| After placement | ✓ Offer, onboarding and follow-up support | Contact often ends at the offer |
Due diligence isn't just our name
A poor hire in financial services can create regulatory, reputational and financial risk. Our verification process is designed to reduce that risk before you make an offer.
