So you want a high paying banking job? Which are the best recruiters and headhunting firms are most likely to deliver that to you? The new Executive Grapevine Market Report spells out your options in granular detail.
Firstly, if you want a banking job in London that pays £100k+ in year one (including salary, guaranteed bonus and any other guaranteed cash compensation), Executive Grapevine suggests you should be getting friendly with the firms on the list below. These are the so-called 'boutique firms' - those which only deal with banking jobs.

Secondly, if you want a banking job in London that pays £100k+, but are prepared to deal with headhunting firms who don't just operate in financial services, you might want to get together with firms in the following table. These are the 'multi-practice' headhunting firms which don't just do banking, but have a strong presence in the banking sector nonetheless. They might be pretty good to get to know if you want to move into a board position later on.
