Where Finance Recruitment meets Social Purpose

Welcome to IFF Talent

Welcome to IFF Talent, where recruitment meets purpose. Our Co-Founders, Joe, Rachel, and Javed, have spent decades building a reputation for excellence in finance recruitment. But we’re not just about finding the right candidate their perfect job – we’re also on a mission to raise standards in the recruitment industry by putting purpose at our core.

At IFF Talent, we believe that recruitment should be about more than just filling your vacancy. It’s about being there for you even when you’re not looking for a job, or hiring.

We’re about empowering individuals to achieve their full career potential, and helping businesses build teams that drive real impact. That’s why we’re building an inter-connected ecosystem, a community of like-minded professionals who share our values and our passion for making a difference.

Our ‘Beyond Recruitment’ approach is all about adding value beyond the transactional part of the process.

For finance professionals, we will do this by providing access to a game-changing mentoring and career coaching platform, linked to a wider ecosystem of groups where you will build connections, learn, and share knowledge and best practice with fellow peers.

For clients, we will provide access to live and up-to-date industry data and talent insights for finance teams, as well as consultancy support to improve cultures and increase employee engagement and retention levels.

 

And we don’t stop there.

We also want to make a positive impact outside of our recruitment scope. As co-founders, we each pledge a minimum of 3% of our profits to a mental health and social impact non-profit. This non-profit will support and raise awareness around social causes that make a real difference in people’s lives, in and out of work.

From Mental Health, Gender Equity/Women in Finance and Social Mobility, we will each own a ‘social pillar’ – learn more about that a little further down on this page.

We’re not just recruiters – we’re your trusted partners, mentors, thought leaders and advocates for our clients and candidates. We’re dedicated to helping you achieve your goals, whether you’re looking to find your dream hire, build a dream team or take the next step in your career.

Follow us on LinkedIn to stay up to date with our latest insights, stories, and updates. And if you’re looking for talented professionals to join your team or considering your next career move, we’d love to hear from you.

We are excited to embark on this journey with you and look forward to making a positive impact in the world of finance recruitment and beyond.
