Candidates
Most senior roles are never advertised.
Less than 5% of candidates applying for a role secure one. 95% are placed into different roles via networks, and many are placed before they are even visible in the market. Register your interest confidentially and a consultant will contact you.

What to expect.
Four things every candidate gets, whether the role is a first BD hire or a national leadership appointment.
Confidential from the first call
Your details stay with Dalton Handley. Your CV never goes to a firm or fund without your agreement, and your current employer is never contacted.
Prepared properly
Before any interview you will know the firm, the people and the problems they need solved. Candidates call it the best briefing they have had.
“The best briefing I have ever received from a recruiter.”
Priced to the market
Our research tells you what the role should pay before you negotiate, so you walk in knowing your number.
Still here after you start
The relationship does not end on your first day. Most people placed come back years later, as candidates or as clients.

The full record“Charles brings commercial depth to his work, as he is attuned to macro business strategies, the forces shaping where firms invest and where growth is emerging. In my case, he quickly understood the strength and commercial relevance of my experience, and helped sharpen how I positioned it.”
“Charles is the best of the best. We have worked together twice, and both times Charles has secured me a business development role above my salary expectations. Charles is highly valued and trusted by firms and candidates, who understand that his expertise and skills are second to none. He genuinely cares about candidates' long-term career goals.”
“Exceptional commercial acumen, a strong grasp of economics and global market dynamics, combined with the energy of five people (at least) make Charles a formidable operator. One of the things I have appreciated most with Charles is his ability to cut through the noise and focus on what matters, for his clients and candidates alike.”
