Placement of a Deal Advisory Manager, Top 4, West Midlands
Overview
The candidate approached Adlestrop for advice during their final year of their training contract in order assess their options and understand what the market looked like.
Process
We worked with the candidate to understand where they wanted to go with their career in order to begin looking at the market.
We helped the candidate to put together a powerful CV that included recent project experience from the last 12-18 months to demonstrate their deals and sector experience.
"Adlestrop advised that I was my more demanding of my line manager to get a broader exposure of deals and pursue areas of interest."
Adlestrop built up a regular communication strategy with the candidate to provide them with tailored advice which was aligned to their objectives and would help to prepare them for when they were ready to consider a move.
"I was not bombarded by weekly job vacancies but instead received a couple of job specifications which were in line with my sector expertise and role descriptions we had previously discussed.
It was evident that Adlestrop understood the market and emphasised with my requirements for a new role (including people culture).
I remained exclusive because Adlestrop had contacts in all of the companies I was interested in joining."
Adlestrop spent time understanding my reasons for wanting to move and my latest thoughts on my ideal role. They made contact with companies I was interested in finding out more about but whom were not actively recruiting.
They helped me to tailor my CV for roles in practice and to emphasise my extra-curricular achievements. Adlestrop only sent my CV out to companies which I was interested in joining.
Aldestrop were timely in providing interview preparation advice (including background of interviewers) and in getting feedback from the interviews and assessments I attended."
Result
The candidate received a number offers, it was important to for the candidate to rank each offer based on their career ambitions and work-life balance in order to make the right decision.
"With their guidance and contacts, I had opportunities to meet Directors and Partners to find the company that matched my sector interests and would provide long term career development. I am very excited for my new position and to join a new team which places collaboration at the heart of its client strategy.
I envisage that I will be with my new employer for at least the next 3-5 years but I will be remaining in contact with Adlestrop so that I am kept informed of opportunities within the wider market. I have already recommended Adlestrop to a former colleague."
