Introducing Godliman
the three pillars of best-fit execitive asset management team selection

Asset Management Executive Search

Godliman offers independent Executive Search and Talent Solutions, recruiting senior executives and teams across the Asset Management sector, for over 20 years.

Most Search firms evaluate candidates based on the traditional metrics of skills and experience. At Godliman Partners we understand that the crucial factor in ensuring new hire success is the ‘Fit’ between client culture and candidate style, values and motivations.

​

Our proprietary Best-Fit Search™ process uniquely evaluates candidate ‘Fit’ with the hiring company as well as the skills and experience necessary for the role. As a result the longevity and success in role of our hires is significantly above the industry norm.

79% of all candidates placed since 2013 are still with the same company. And 51% of hires since 2003 (the start of our business) are still with the same company.

Here’s how Best-Fit Search works

Best-Fit Onboarding

We provide a ‘Fit-Risk’ assessment for all hired candidates, to guide hiring managers on how to minimise performance risk as new hires are integrated and support new hires to transition smoothly and to achieve a ‘Best-Fit’ integration.

Our Best-Fit Assessment process ensures an optimal fit between our client’s culture and the candidate’s values and ways of working. We use our Candidate-Culture-Assessor model to determine the best candidate fit for our client and to highlight any areas of risk.

Best-Fit Research

We map the candidate pool not only for their skills, experience and track record but also for their values, motivations and working style. Filtering candidates in this way provides a much higher-quality ‘long list’ for clients.

Ongoing Talent Cultivation

A medium-term hiring strategy to attract market-leading "Star" candidates within priority sectors.

Rupert was instrumental in helping us understand the talent we had in-house: the gaps we had in skills to meet our strategic goals, and the landscape for talent externally. His approach was truly consultative: he never pressured us to take a candidate to complete a search and always kept culture and fit at the forefront of his mind. Rupert was an indispensable partner and helped us grow our business more than 5x during a decade of engagement with our team. My only hesitation in recommending him is I don’t want him working for the competition.
