Core values

The success of Financial Assets is built on four core values: knowledge, quality, speed and discretion.

 

Knowledge

Financial Assets has thorough knowledge of the financial sector and its various sub-disciplines. We have worked in the fields that we now operate in as head-hunters, so we are on the same wavelength as our clients and candidates. Moreover, the rate of turnover among our partners and consultants is very low. Most of our key staff has been with Financial Assets for ten years or more.

Quality

Besides possessing practical skills and in-depth knowledge and experience regarding products and markets, Financial Assets focuses on achieving a close match between the character of the candidate and the culture of the organisation and between the ambition and drive of the candidate and the momentum of the organisation. We track, follow and interact with the professionals in our network over a very long period. Building and maintaining a long-term relationship with our clients is an important part of our strategy. At Financial Assets we have qualitative as opposed to quantitative targets.

Speed

Financial Assets is an independent and autonomous firm that works almost exclusively within the financial services sector in the Netherlands. We are therefore capable of responding quickly to our clients’ needs. Over 15 years’ experience, a very wide network of senior managers and specialists and an efficient data management system enable us to present suitable candidates in a very short period of time. Moreover, we can generally find suitable candidates for interim management positions within one or two working days.

Discretion

Financial Assets aims to be a reliable partner on a long-term basis for both clients and candidates. It goes without saying that we attach the greatest importance to integrity in everything we do. Discretion is essential in order to protect the reputation of clients and individuals alike. We have respect for our clients and contacts and treat everyone’s interests with due care.
