Blaq

client-image

About the Company

Blaq is a specialist recruitment company that works only with the finance industry. We focus on services in the boundary between business, regulations and data/IT. The company was founded in 2013 and has nine employees. Our clients are many of the largest and most renowned companies, but also smaller start-ups who understand the importance of driven and talented employees. We offer our clients different types of services, which means we can both do assignments that are very senior, but at the same time we are also looking for younger people with less experience who have great potential.

Asset Management Expertise

Asset management is a sector within finance that Blaq works actively with, not least as there is extensive consolidation in the industry with many new challenges and needs. Blaq works with both independent players who specialize in asset management, but also with larger financial companies where asset management is part of their total offering. In addition, the firm works extensively with insurance companies that often seek similar skills as those required in asset management firms.

Lager & Partners supports its clients mainly through retained Search Mandates, where organisations search for specific skills but candidates may not be actively seeking a next step. Occasionally we also do selection (advertised recruitment processes).
Asset Management, which primarily includes recruitment of Management, Investment Professionals and Asset Management Sales positions, accounts for roughly 25% of our business. In recent years we have seen an increasing demand for expertise in Alternative Assets.
Most assignments we do are at a senior level. At same time Lager & Partners strive for long term partnerships with our clients, therefor junior roles are not excluded.
