It is our ability to intricately map the nancial services market that providesOliver James Associates with leverage that separates us from our competition.A selection process then occurs between the relevant vertical market consultants todiscuss their most suitable candidates.

We will liaise with both parties, providing any advice that may be required, meeting the candidate again, and assisting the candidate with anything we can, for example relocation issues.
