Does the open positions described really exist

I've noticed that there never seems to be any real outcome after telling you that they pushed your cv, and it sometimes feels as though the main purpose is to collect market information such as salary data and other personal data, this sentiment is shared by many professionals in my sector (finance. Quant finance & trading).
It also makes me wonder whether the positions mentioned in their messages actually exist.
I’ve never been able to be invited to an interview via their process, yet once I decided to apply directly with the same CV, I get contacted in most cases quite quickly.

A note for future candidates: be aware that some recruiters may upload your CV into the ATS (applicant tracking system) of certain companies.
I wonder whether this could potentially work against you if you later apply directly to the same company

A Recruiter Who Truly Cares and Delivers

I was approached by Zahan Bomanji from Anson McCade via LinkedIn, and from the very beginning, the experience was excellent. Zahan was friendly, approachable, and extremely informative, making it easy to build a strong rapport.

What stood out most was his thoroughness and clear communication. He ensured that both sides were always well-informed at every stage of the process, which gave me a great deal of confidence. Zahan took the time to understand my needs and provided valuable, timely guidance throughout.

He quickly became a trusted advisor, consistently checking in and making sure I was comfortable with every step. His dedication and work ethic are evident—he truly goes above and beyond.

I would highly recommend Zahan to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable recruiter.

Aaron found me a role I didn't even know existed

Really impressed with my experience working with Aaron O'Neill from start to finish. The process was smooth and stress-free, and his communication was excellent throughout; I was never left wondering what was happening next.

What really stood out was that Aaron brought a role to me that I genuinely wouldn't have found on my own. He clearly took the time to understand what I was looking for rather than just firing CVs at any open vacancy.

The interview prep he provided was also a big help. I went in feeling confident and well-prepared, which made a real difference on the day.

Really happy in my new role and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Aaron to anyone looking for their next move.

Lucky to have contacted these recruiters

Alex Hugall (and Elin Keller) of Anson McCade performed a miracle by matching my professional experience with a suitable role in a completely different industry. Throughout the hiring process Alex was always efficient, enthusiastic, and informative.

I had a great experience working with Zahan during my job search. He was clear, professional, and genuinely supportive from the start. He took my personal circumstances into account and never rushed the process, which I really appreciated. Zahan kept me well-informed throughout, with transparent and timely updates.

Anna-Jane is an excellent recruiter

Anna-Jane is an excellent recruiter. She was clear, honest, and consistently kept me informed throughout the process, which gave me the confidence and clarity I needed for interviews and progressing to the each stage.

Her proactive approach, responsiveness, and genuine support made a real difference while I was exploring the right opportunities. It’s rare to come across someone so thoughtful and reliable.

Smooth experience with AM

Smooth experience with AM - from initial contact and discussions with Zahan through the interview process and latterly Peter as the firm moved to offer - as I moved from over a decade in Big-4 as a Director to another consultancy. Would recommend AM.

Great recruiter to work with - Alex Hugall

I have been in contact with Alex Hugall from Anson McCade for Quant Researcher roles. Alex is very responsive, and he has kept me in the loop throughout. He gives me clear information about the processes (stages, timeline etc.) and has helped me with the prep. He is also a friendly person, great to work with him. Overall, I recommend very highly Anson McCade and Alex !

Highly recommend George Eke

George Eke contacted me about a quant research role at a hedge fund. He was very helpful throughout the interview process, made sure I was well-prepared and informed about next steps. Will Cristobal was also helpful in organising the onsite interview. Wishing them both all the best!

Very satisfied due to constant communication

I worked with Anson McCade (George Eke) on a role for a major hedge fund. The whole process took about 6mths which very long and hence challenging from both the recruiter as well as from my perspective as a candidate. However I really appreciated the quick responsiveness and constant communication I received from George throughout the process. Clearly one of my best experience when working with a recruitment agent so far.

Fast but Poor Consultants

Fast responses, but very rude consultants who don't pay attention to details. In technical roles they don't seem to understand what is going on but speak like they do. Would advise that companies avoid them for the way they treat candidates.

Brilliant recruiting experience with Joseph

I had the pleasure of working with Joseph Pourkhabbaz, who helped me to secure a fantastic job opportunity. Throughout the entire process, Joseph was responsive and always on hand to answer any questions no matter the day or time, and made the process as smooth as possible. He is very knowledgeable about the industry and helped me at every step.

From the beginning, Joseph only had my best interests in mind and I cannot more highly recommend him (and his colleague Will, who I also had the pleasure of working with), to anyone looking to secure a top role; he is a testament to the quality recruiting service that Anson McCade provides.
