Founded in 1992, Napier Scott Search Ltd is focused on senior front office specialists within Europe, Russia and the Middle East. In 2005 Napier Scott expanded its operations into legal search. Today's financial turbulence and rapidly shifting landscapes demands adaptability allied to a wisdom only gained through experience. As a boutique search firm we have consciously shifted our focus to boutique financial institutions. We are proud to be partnering four start-up banks - placing from C-level downwards - three specialised hedge funds and two privately owned proprietary trading houses. We believe that we are peerless in the expertise and experience we can offer to specialist and niche organisations.

 

Our aim is to construct long-term relationships with our clients that range from tier one global banks to specialised hedge funds and legal practises. Our senior consultants, all ex-market practitioners themselves, each specialise in a particular sector of derivatives, fixed income, FX, Emerging Markets (specifically Russia and the Middle East) & Legal Assignments.

Napier Scott's ability to understand clients' needs and the candidate's capabilities is supported by the rate of our successful and long-tenured, placements. With the current market turmoil our profound understanding of candidates' capabilities is of paramount importance to our clients in determining skill sets and achievements.

Our knowledge of the market participants has been developed from over 15 years of data collected from personal interviews, conferences, client feedback and the monitoring of track records. Our ability to discern an individual's true skills and track record are all the more important to the decision making process of our clients in today's climate.

Napier Scott understands the high priority its clients place upon diversity which is mirrored in the 13 languages, including Arabic and Russian, and diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds of our own staff.

 

Napier Scott is proud to have been placed amongst the top ten boutique search firms for Financial Services in 2008 by an independent survey of the Sunday Times.
