Financial Services Recruitment for Employers

Specialist recruitment across mortgage, protection, financial advice, paraplanning and support

AR Recruitment helps financial-services firms present their vacancies clearly and speak with professionals whose experience, priorities and working preferences may fit the opportunity.

What makes a useful vacancy brief?

  • Role purpose: why the position exists and what the successful person will be responsible for.
  • Location and working pattern: office attendance, hybrid arrangements, home working and travel expectations.
  • Employment model: whether the role is employed, self-employed or another confirmed arrangement.
  • Salary or realistic earnings: the package and the assumptions behind performance-related figures.
  • Lead and client position: where business comes from, who owns the client relationship and what self-generation is expected.
  • Support: administration, paraplanning, compliance, systems, training and management available.
  • Experience and qualifications: what is essential, what is preferred and what can be developed.
  • Progression: how the role could develop and what longer-term opportunities genuinely exist.

A clear recruitment process

Step 1

Understand the Opportunity

Clarify the responsibilities, business model, working arrangement, package, support and confidentiality requirements.

Step 2

Position the Role

Explain what makes the vacancy relevant without exaggerating the opportunity or revealing confidential company information.

Step 3

Hold Relevant Conversations

Discuss the opportunity with professionals whose experience and priorities may align before any formal introduction is made.

Confidential recruitment

Some vacancies need to remain anonymous. AR Recruitment can describe a role without naming the firm or including distinctive operational, commercial or location details that could reveal its identity.

A confidential page should still contain enough confirmed information for an appropriate candidate to understand the model, responsibilities, working arrangement and potential fit.
