Supporting every step of your private credit recruitment journey
France has become an increasingly important location for private credit in Europe. The market combines long-standing financial institutions with an expanding group of alternative lenders focused on structured and direct lending. Selby Jennings works within this setting, giving us access to talent that understands French regulation, local credit behaviour, and cross-border deal activity. This makes France a strong base for firms that need people who work with accuracy and handle detailed lending tasks.
Diverse pool of private credit talent
France attracts professionals with experience in private credit, direct lending, and debt across European and global markets. Many candidates have worked on non-bank investments and cross-border transactions, giving them a broad view of structured lending and risk. This variety helps us introduce individuals who meet technical requirements and fit naturally into your organisation.
Specialised knowledge in private credit lending
Private credit in France calls for a clear understanding of small and medium businesses, direct lending structures, regulation, and risk frameworks. We work with candidates who can run detailed assessments, structure deals suited to French and regional market conditions, and manage portfolios with discipline. You gain access to people who bring informed thinking and practical skill from the start.
