Testimonials
What our clients and
candidates say
"I worked with Jilani on a placement from Canada to the UK property investment role. During the six-month interview process, Jilani demonstrated significant sector knowledge, decision-maker management and timely feedback at each phase of the process. Professional, personable and responsive, Jilani was a pleasure to work with throughout this would-be difficult process and I would recommend Jilani to anyone seeking a new challenge."
Marco F - Investment Manager
Listed International Property Investor & Developer
"We started working with George and Jilani during lockdown in 2020. I was impressed with their entrepreneurial approach. It was clear they knew the real estate finance market well and were hungry to build their business. Two years later and we have made a number of successful hires through them which has helped us grow our European finance team. I find them honest, trustworthy and easy to work with."
AJ - Senior VP
Global Top Tier Asset Manager
"I have worked closely with George and the Strand Hill team for a number of years as my primary recruiters across our fund finance team. Most recently during a period of significant change across the team where they were responsible for successfully filling six tricky mandates at various levels of seniority, including a European Head of Fund Finance vacancy. They have done a fantastic job in supporting our business and have been a joy to work with, which is rare and immensely valuable. A consistently reliable and well-placed recruitment partner."
James S - Head of Asset Management
Global Investment Manager
"The experience with Mollie and her team was undeniably differentiated from others. Before every interview stage, they provided helpful and relevant information to aid in preparation, as well as a follow-up call to see how things went. Furthermore, Mollie and Strand Hill in general were totally transparent and honest with how things were progressing."
Senior Analyst
Real Estate Investment Manager
"I have worked with and known Jilani over a number of years and found him to be professional, courteous and knowledgeable. As a smaller company we had quite a unique set of requirements and Jilani was able to work proactively to source the right candidate. He communicated well throughout the entire process, striking a balance between chasing where necessary and holding back when required and he really understood the wider business objectives which helped and was key to sourcing the right candidate. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jilani and look forward to working with him in the years to come."
Andrew T - Finance Director
Residential Investment Fund
"Jilani helped me to find a place as Interim FC at a prestigious real estate business. He was incredibly efficient at setting up the screening and then interview process, answering questions and acting as a professional go-between. He quickly obtained feedback on interview performance and provided thoughts and areas to explore in subsequent sessions as well as providing thoughts about how to address any apparent experience gaps. I have found him friendly, professional and diligent throughout."
Henry T - Group Financial Controller

"George and the team were instrumental in building up our Fund Finance team providing us with a great selection of candidates resulting in six appointments during a relatively short period of time. Could not recommend them more as your dedicated recruitment partner as they come with a fantastic knowledge of the market, a great network and a superb work ethic."
