Recruiting in investment banking,
where scarcity of profile matters most.

M&A, financing, capital markets: each business line has its own profile requirements.

Our positioning

Why choose Turgot Executive Search for this mandate ?

Investment banking recruitment plays out in narrow, highly sought-after pools, where a candidate's reputation and network matter as much as their technical skill. Turgot Executive Search supports M&A, structured finance and capital markets divisions in identifying senior bankers, with a direct approach suited to a world where discretion is the norm.

Our difference

Three reasons to
work with us.

01

Specialisation by business line

M&A, leveraged finance, capital markets: each business line has its own codes, which our consultants master distinctly.

02

Assessment of the client book

We qualify the real strength and transferability of a senior banker's client network.

03

Discretion in line with sector norms

Senior banker moves demand confidentiality, which we apply systematically.

Our method

Recruiting in investment banking starts with precisely clarifying the targeted business line and seniority level, to target profiles with a proven track record on comparable transactions. The direct approach is conducted with the discretion this market demands, where a candidate's reputation can be affected by a clumsy process.

Frequently asked questions

What our clients
ask us.

Do you recruit senior bankers with an existing client book?

Yes, this is a frequent case: we then assess the real nature and transferability of the claimed relationship portfolio.

Do you cover M&A and structured finance?

Yes, as well as equity and debt capital markets, with consultants specialised by business line.

Are these recruitments always conducted through direct approach?

Almost always: the best investment bankers are rarely actively looking and require a personalised approach.

Investment banking recruitment — the rarest profiles on the market

Investment banking recruits profiles combining sharp technical expertise (financial modelling, structuring, corporate law), commercial capability (client development, origination), and resilience under pressure. These professionals are trained at major institutions and only change employer for a compelling professional project — not simply a salary bump.

Turgot Executive Search recruits senior investment banking positions: MDs and Directors in M&A, leveraged finance, ECM, DCM, capital markets, and structured finance. Our direct approach and knowledge of the Paris market (and Singapore for Asia) allow us to identify these profiles and approach them with the credibility they expect.
