2. Corporate Overview The Horizon Group began operations in 1990 and rapidly developed a successful reputation in fulfilling our clients’ mission critical human capital searches. Our clients have come to rely on us to fill positions that are vital to their ongoing business operations in capital markets, investment banking, and information technology. Over the past eighteen years The Horizon Group has expanded into other industries, but our commitment to aligning with our customers business goals remains constant. As an example, when a large European bank sought entry into U.S. capital markets, it chose The Horizon Group to conduct a complete analysis of the marketplace and a subsequent strategic deployment of our recruitment resources. Today, that European bank’s U.S. securities franchise is amongst the leaders. When one of the world’s largest insurance companies undertook a complete restructuring of its derivatives franchise, Horizon was able to fill strategic roles in various locations around the globe in a time critical manner, allowing the client’s operations to satisfy the continual demand of real time execution and counterparty expertise necessary for success. Our industry experienced recruiting staff at The Horizon Group are fluent in the unique “language” of the candidate and client market they service . Clients like a large commercial bank, a hedge fund, or a candidate that is a global head of options trading, or a fixed income salesperson, each have requirements that are characteristically unique. That is why every member of our search team has developed a specific expertise. By focusing on a particular segment of the marketplace, each search professional develops a more subtle understanding of the requirements of its clients and candidates alike. With that understanding, it is only natural that The Horizon Group continues to fashion and solidify the long-term relationships that have become the foundation of our philosophy for building a mature and respected search practice. In addition, it is these relationships that constitute the basis of Horizon’s reputation for confidentiality, diligence, and an intelligent application of our networking resources.
