Global Recruitment Partners

AP Group’s Exclusive Global REcruitment Partners - STEP and Securities & Investment Institute
AP Group has signed an agreement with the Securities and Investment Institute (SII) to be the organisation’s exclusive global recruitment partner. With five offices around the world and dealing in more than 40 jurisdictions, AP Group, one of the largest offshore recruitment firms in the world, will be responsible for finding key staff for SII members as well as advising members of opportunities across the globe.
The group’s founder and CEO, Gina Le Prevost, who was instrumental in making the deal, said: ’We are delighted to have come to this arrangement with the SII and look forward to providing them with high-quality candidates for a wide variety of roles. We have a wealth of experience in this area and are confident that it will be a mutually rewarding relationship.’
Simon Culhane, CEO of SII, said: ’As a membership organisation, the SII is keen to provide relevant and useful services for its members. Therefore, we are delighted that our association with AP Group means that members can take advantage of a high-quality, full service recruitment partner whose reach covers not only the UK but also many of the key areas overseas where the institute now operates, especially in the Gulf and South-East Asia.’
’International recruitment won’t be a problem for members now that we are able to provide our global service to the SII, and members can browse all our vacancies at their leisure by logging onto SII.org.uk instead of trawling through all the website job boards currently in existence,’ said Ms Le Prevost. ’Likewise, if a company has an important role to fill and there is no-one on the doorstep, we’ll look further afield and keep looking until we find suitable individuals from whom they can draw up a shortlist.’
Since 2003 AP Group has had a similar partnership with STEP, the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners, and the success of that venture paved the way for this new undertaking.
The relationship came as a direct response to the numerous enquiries that STEP received from its members and student members looking for new positions and from various organisations looking to recruit. AP Executive became the offshore recruitment partner for the society. Following the success of the service provided to STEP members globally, the partnership was extended to incorporate all global recruitment for STEP members.
STEP and SII members have access to AP Group’s relevant vacancies through the organisations’ websites.
