TWS Search Partners - Sustainability Recruitment’s Post

"We were involved in hiring a lot of people from NGO backgrounds, who saw their salaries double – or even triple – when they moved into asset management," said Tom Strelczak from TWS Search Partners, who's had more calls from senior ESG folk looking to move jobs in the past quarter than ever before. "They joined because they believed all the glitzy marketing spiel from the CIOs and CEOs of some of these firms, who were happy saying anything about ESG at that point. But as soon as the going got a bit tough, especially for US-centric asset managers, they stopped shouting from the rooftops, and those senior recruits realised there was a clear limit on how much impact they can actually have." Really enjoyed talking with Sophie Robinson-Tillett at Investment & Pensions Europe (IPE) in a wide ranging discussion tackling some of the significant ESG talent trends and developments we see on the ground affecting both candidates and clients operating in this evolving sector.
