Private Credit Recruiter

Diverse pool of private credit talent

Access to a wide network across private credit, direct lending, and debt allows you to reach candidates who bring a strong mix of technical skill and commercial perspective. Many professionals in London have experience in non-bank investments and exposure to international markets, which broadens the range of thinking they bring to a role. This depth helps us match you with people who meet technical needs and fit naturally into your organisation’s culture.

Specialised knowledge in private credit lending

Private credit requires a clear understanding of the needs of non-investment-grade small and medium businesses, along with a working knowledge of direct lending structures, regulations, and risk factors. We work with professionals who can handle the complexity that comes with credit assessments, deal structuring, and portfolio management. This means we connect firms with talent that brings strategic insight as well as strong technical execution.

Personalised private credit recruitment

Each firm has different goals, so we tailor our recruitment approach to match your specific hiring needs. Our coverage includes direct lending, mezzanine financing, distressed debt, and structured credit. By focusing on both cultural alignment and long-term contribution, we help you build stable, effective teams that support growth. This approach gives you talent that can adapt to the demands of private credit as the market evolves.

Long-term partnerships

Our support extends past the initial hire. We provide guidance on compensation trends, diversity planning, and broader market shifts that affect private credit firms. As your business grows, we remain a steady partner, helping you scale teams, identify future leaders, and manage the challenges that come with sourcing emerging talent. This long-term view helps your organisation stay prepared for change and build capability over time.

We connect leading investment firms with top-performing professionals in private credit roles. Our private credit recruiters specialise in sourcing talent for direct lending, special situations, and opportunistic credit strategies. We also support hiring for crossover mandates touching hedge funds and alternative credit platforms.
