Austen Smythe Recruitment
About us
Austen Smythe is an established & privately owned Recruitment Consultancy specialising in all areas of Banking and Financial Recruitment, to include Investment Banking, International Banking, Investment & Asset Management, Front Office (Corporate Finance & Trading), Middle Office (Product Control), Projects, Risk, Compliance and Human Resources, Back-Office Operations and Specialist Support Roles.
The company was formed in 1989 and has weathered three recessions, seen first hand the high’s and low’s of the Banking industry and still works hand in hand with many of the same Clients after all this time.
The fact that Austen Smythe can provide a professional and effective recruitment service, customised to the needs of their clients, is nothing compared to the experience, continuity and understanding that longevity
in this industry can offer.
The Company is owned and run by Traci Austen & Tessa Beck who have been with Austen Smythe since it’s inception and between them have over 30 years experience and expertise in the Finance Industry. It is obviously
in their best interest to provide only the best service to both their
Clients and Candidates.
In 1990 the Company diversified into Outplacement and trained their staff to help service the changing needs of their clients at that time. Outplacement has remained one of the key services that Austen Smythe can provide.
In 2003 Austen Smythe expanded its business portfolio to include more administrative and secretarial vacancies in order to help provide these essential staff to the Banking and Finance industry on both a temporary
and permanent basis.
When dealing with Austen Smythe you are working with Consultants who each have a minimum of 10 years Recruitment & Market experience
In 2005 Austen Smythe launched a Human Resources division specialising in key personnel for the Finance Industry.
The Company has gone from strength to strength, riding the waves of industry change, diversifying so it can offer the right service at the right time, ensuring that their Clients' and Candidates' needs and requirements are met at all times.
Their main Clients are small & medium sized international Banks from Europe, the Middle & Far East, Africa and Japan, who prefer the business relationship Austen Smythe can offer them that may not often be found with much larger recruitment agencies.
In an industry that is dominated by large publicly owned Recruitment Consultancies it can also be disconcerting for applicants. They can
find themselves treated as a commodity rather than a person.
Many applicants much prefer to register with a small agency for that personal touch. In this way Austen Smythe sometimes has many
excellent candidates to offer who may not be registered with the
big national agencies.
Austen Smythe are able to boast continuity of service from long-serving staff in a company that has its own singular identity.
