Our Focus
We remain focused on our core sectors of Investment Banking, Financing & Markets; Private Capital; Corporate Development & Strategy; Funds Management & Distribution. This focus gives us a deep and actionable network of relationships across the market. We are able to better advise both clients and candidates on the key challenges and opportunities they face over the longer term.
We’ve had a long-standing relationship with East Partnership. They have assisted in Azure Capital’s growth journey in Sydney and Melbourne, from a concept in 2020, to the more than 25 people today. Alastair and his team have taken the time to understand our strategy and culture and connect us with individuals that align with that. We look forward to continuing to work together.

I’ve worked with James for a variety of roles over multiple years, and he has always provided excellent service. He has an impressive ability to source candidates from both local and overseas markets, whilst also understanding the specific type of candidate required for a unique role. He most recently recruited a strong Associate hire in a very efficient process.

I engaged East Partnership to assist with hiring an Associate within the Corporate Finance team at Atmos. I worked with Nick, who I found to be very helpful throughout the hiring process; he was very knowledgeable on the market, and he gave a good insight on the candidates he recommended me to meet. I am looking forward to having him represent Atmos in the market in the future.
