Mark O'Reilly

Managing Director - Asia Pacific

I believe there are three things that really make Astbury Marsden stand out in the recruitment industry; our business model, the experience of our consultants and our track record of growth.

We don't try to be all things to all people; we focus solely on the mid to senior end of the banking and financial services market. We proactively head hunt a majority of our candidates giving us the capacity to recruit exclusive and retained mandates at the senior end of the market.

Our business model attracts experienced recruiters who have grown tired of working in a mass market recruitment environment. Working at Astbury Marsden provides the intellectual stimulation that comes from specialising at the senior end of the market. In addition, the buzz and enjoyment factor of an aspirational recruitment sales floor is always present.

Our team are subject matter experts in their chosen market; the people we hire join us with a significant record of success within the industry.

We are a private equity backed business that makes no secrets of it's aspirations to expand our service offering both domestically and internationally. These growth aspirations together with the experience of my colleagues make Astbury Marsden a great platform for the future.
