International Talent Advisory

Mawney Partners is a leading independent search firm active in both public and private financial markets

Mawney Partners was founded in 2013 to provide hands-on search execution to a small group of select clients, typically undertaking long-term retained mandates within the fixed income and credit markets. Since then, we’ve expanded our search expertise to a number of closely-aligned asset classes, services and strategies. In 2014, we launched our private equity and corporate strategy practice, with restructuring and M&A following a year after.

We advise a host of international clients across alternative and asset managers, private equity and VC funds, banks, corporates, advisors, CLOs and hedge funds. Through long-held relationships and an ever-expanding network, Mawney Partners has an impressive track record of securing talent and providing additional recruiting services to our valued clients.

Our market-mapping, benchmarking and analysis services offer genuine insight to allow our clients to secure best-in-class candidates, underpinned by our commitment to diversity and inclusion.
