Senior finance and board level executive search

A top-tier headhunting firm with deep connections in Private Equity and Finance. The caliber of the profiles they submitted was impressive. They have become my preferred partner for sourcing talent with niche skills.

Pearse Professionals found me an excellent contractor role. Will and Joe kept me informed at every stage and maintained excellent communication throughout. Their professionalism and transparency made the whole process much less stressful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pearse Portfolio to anyone looking for a new role.

I have found them both to be very helpful, insightful and professional. Their communication was excellent and I would not hesitate working with them in the future or recommending Pearse Portfolio to others.

It's fair to say this role wasn't an easy one, whereby the target was a niche and multi requirement skillset, with an incredibly high talent bar requirement. Charlie worked diligently and delivered candidates quickly, we adapted together and in turn altered or finessed the initial requirements, which I appreciate was not always easy. In the end, the process concluded with the challenge of which candidate to hire… a very nice position to be in.

Joe Rudkin of Pearse Portfolio is one of the best search professionals for the infrastructure community in London. He acts as a partner for both the recruiting teams and the professionals he is bringing to them.

I've had the pleasure of working with Pearse Portfolio for over a year now, and the experience has been outstanding from day one. Whether you're a company looking for high-caliber talent or a professional exploring new career opportunities, Pearse Portfolio is a partner you can trust.

Pearse Portfolio have been a breath of fresh air: listening deeply, thinking laterally and spending the time needed to get to know my strengths and preferences.

Great company to work with. Joe and his team genuinely invest time in building meaningful relationships with both clients and candidates. They have a strong ethos of promoting diversity and presented me with a number of very interesting opportunities.

Great to work with, efficient and very professional – highly recommended!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Krupali, who represented me for a Senior Finance role. Her own finance background meant she had a strong understanding of the role and its requirements, as well as how my experience aligned with what the client was looking for.

Krupali has been by far one of the best recruiters I worked with. Her support, communication and assistant through the process was excellent, she's super knowledgeable in her field. If you have the luck of working with her, you are in great hands.

It’s been a pleasure working with the Pearse Portfolio team, in particular with Joe and I can’t recommend him highly enough. He is extremely knowledgeable about the market and clearly well-connected. The support he has provided has been exceptional.

I had the pleasure of working with Krupali, who supported me in securing a Senior Finance Business Partner role. From the outset, she was professional, approachable, and incredibly supportive. Her advice gave me real confidence, and she made sure I understood the importance of preparation and presenting myself in the best possible way.

I’ve worked with several recruiters, but Krupali stood out for her responsiveness, transparency and human touch. Even before we were working on a specific role, Krupali took the time to connect me with industry contacts and share valuable market insights. That kind of support is rare and shows she genuinely cares about people’s careers, not just placements.

Warm, professional and with a deep understanding of finance.

They took the time to fully understand our business needs and consistently delivered high-quality candidates who were an excellent fit for both the role and our culture. We would have no hesitation in recommending Pearse Portfolio as a trusted recruitment partner and look forward to working with them again in the future.

Will was great throughout the whole hiring process, keeping me informed and up to date with developments. Will immediately put me at ease and has a very professional yet friendly manner. Thank you Will for helping me secure the role I was hoping for.

I worked with Charlie on a placement for a finance manager for my team. He worked extremely quickly and had a list of high quality candidates sent over within a week. The whole process took under 2 weeks.

I had a great experience working with Charlie. He was very helpful, friendly and supportive throughout the whole process. He made sure I felt informed and confident every step of the way. I would highly recommend.

Krupali was very candid throughout the process but with a very flexible, genuine and human touch which is sadly not always the case in these processes. As she has a finance background herself it felt like she really understood a lot of the detail, it was really refreshing working with her.

Professional, insightful well organised but more importantly a pleasure to work with. Krupali really invested her time and energy to ensuring that I was well prepared and confident for each stage. Thank you Krupali, you went above and beyond. I can’t recommend Pearse Portfolio more highly based on my experience.

Had a great experience working with the Pearse team especially Charlie. He took time to understand my skills and ambitions and introduced me to the right opportunities. Highly recommend speaking to Pearse if you are looking for your next role in finance!
