Actus Search is a newly established search business with ambitious plans to become one of the leading recruitment firms serving the global Investment Management industry.

We specialise exclusively in Investment Management, partnering with asset managers, wealth managers, investment platforms, private markets firms, hedge funds, fintechs and digital asset businesses to recruit senior permanent and interim talent across Operations, Technology, Corporate Functions and Investment Teams.

We're building a high-energy, high-performance culture where ambitious recruiters can accelerate their careers, develop specialist expertise and play a key role in shaping the future of the business.

Our Approach

At Actus Search, we believe the best recruitment is built on relationships, not transactions. Since our inception, we've focused on creating meaningful connections across the Investment Management industry through community-led networking events and executive leadership roundtables.

To date, we've hosted more than 30 executive networking events, bringing together senior leaders to discuss industry trends, share market insight and build lasting professional relationships. These communities provide our consultants with access to valuable market intelligence and the opportunity to build genuine relationships with candidates and clients alike.

As your experience develops, you'll take on greater responsibility for search delivery, candidate engagement and market mapping, with the opportunity to gradually define and build your own specialist market.
