Core-Asset Consulting, a financial recruitment specialist, has been appointed by Kiltearn Partners, a global equity asset manager, as its sole recruitment partner.

Kiltearn becomes the second of Core-Asset’s clients to adopt its principal recruitment partner (PRP) model. Last year the recruiter signed a similar agreement with Alliance Trust.

Betsy Williamson (pictured), Core-Asset’s managing director, said: “Kiltearn Partners have recognised that dealing with a raft of different recruitment agencies isn’t always the most effective, efficient and cost-effective approach.”

Stuart Gunderson, chief operating officer at Kiltearn Partners, said: “Kiltearn Partners is a boutique equity investor focused solely on global value. Our size makes the attraction, retention and development of talent more critical to us than larger, more established players.”
