Gresham Hunt was founded on a simple belief: a successful recruitment firm is built by recruitment consultants who genuinely understand the world their candidates work in.
Founded in 2016 in the city of London, our client base grew rapidly through referrals from C-level stakeholders who knew we always delivered in a calm and professional manner. Honesty in a recruitment process is essential, and clients respected our direct and transparent approach.
Building on the success of our London office, we launched in 2019 in Amsterdam, where our Dutch client base grew quickly as they saw our professionalism in solving their problems.
Today, we are proud to offer elite recruitment consultants a place to call home, and we continue to deliver for our clients by offering the best platform and conditions for our consultants to achieve success.
Connecting exceptional people with the institutions that depend on them.
To be the first call for financial services hiring on both sides of the North Sea.
What we do.
Four disciplines sit at the heart of every well-run financial institution. They’re the only four we recruit.
Finance professionals who do more than report the numbers; they shape decisions. Controllership is a particular strength, especially within investment management and real assets.
Auditors who combine rigour with credibility: people the business actually listen to, from audit analysts to Chief Audit Executives.
All three lines of defence and every major risk type: credit, market, operational, model and enterprise, from analyst to Chief Risk Officer.
From analyst through to Chief Compliance Officer. We cover regulatory affairs, monitoring & testing and advisory across FCA, BoE, DNB and AFM regimes.
Who we work with.
Our clients share one thing: they operate in regulated, capital-intensive markets where the quality of the control environment is the quality of the business.
Banking & Financial Services
Retail, corporate and investment banks, insurers, payments and fintech.
Investment & Asset Management
Asset managers, fund administrators, private markets and wealth managers.
Real Assets
Real estate, infrastructure and energy investors and operators.
London. Amsterdam. Germany. Everywhere in between.
From the City of London we cover the UK’s banking, insurance and asset management markets. From Amsterdam we serve the wider Benelux and the DACH region, home to some of Europe’s largest pension investors, fund administrators and real asset platforms. One team, one database, regulatory regimes we know inside out.

Why clients come back.
We don’t recruit everything for everyone. Our consultants each own a defined vertical market and they know who’s good, who’s available, and who’s about to be.
Our London and Amsterdam locations aren’t satellite offices, they’re one desk. Cross-border briefs, relocations and pan-European builds are everyday work for us, not exceptions.
You’ll always know where things stand: honest views on the market, realistic timelines, and the occasional answer you didn’t want but needed.
Most of our searches come from clients we’ve placed with before, or from candidates we placed who are now doing the hiring. We think that says more than any pitch could.
Meet the team.
Specialists by design: every consultant owns a market they can speak about with authority.

Let’s talk.
A role to fill, a move to make, or just a market question: we’d rather have the conversation early.
