Built On Relationships and Market Intelligence
Since 2012, Collins Executive Recruitment has specialised in recruiting finance, investment and advisory professionals across Australia and internationally.
Established in 2017, the firm is a headhunting-led search platform built on relationships, market intelligence and discretion, delivering mid to senior-level appointments across financial services, commerce and industry.
Each search is executed through targeted market mapping, candidate engagement and structured delivery, with a focus on precision, confidentiality and long-term fit.
Over time, we’ve built extensive networks across three core domains:
Advisory
Investment Banking, Corporate Advisory, M&A, Debt Advisory
Investment
Funds Management, Private Equity, Venture Capital, Alternative Investments
Corporate
Corporate Development, Strategy, Finance, Treasury, FP&A
What Makes Us Different
Recruitment is a contact sport. We focus heavily on research and candidate mapping, building a clear view of the market rather than relying on inbound applicants or job ads. Searches are run with depth and discipline, ensuring shortlists reflect genuine coverage rather than convenience.
We run a focused number of mandates at any one time, allowing for better preparation, stronger engagement and more considered outcomes.

Personal Involvement Throughout
Every search is managed from start to finish with a single point of contact. You’re not passed to junior recruiters after the initial meeting - each mandate is run with continuity, ensuring clear communication, efficient execution and strong cultural alignment.
Research-Heavy, Headhunting-Led
93% of our mandates are filled through headhunting, networking, and referrals - not job advertisements. We map the market thoroughly and identify individuals who align with both technical requirements and company culture.
Lower Volume, Higher Preparation
We typically present 3-4 candidates who are exceptionally well-prepared rather than 10+ poorly qualified submissions. Our candidates go into interviews equipped, confident, and ready to succeed.
Exceptional Track Record
- 99% of exclusive mandates successfully filled.
- 97% of placed candidates pass probation and remain with our clients for 12 months.
- 300+ successful placements across finance, investment, and advisory.
