A search firm built around research, not volume.
NexGen Talent Partners was founded in 2016 by three consultants who were tired of sending the same six CVs to the same six clients. We run a smaller book of work, on a longer timetable, with a written market map behind every shortlist.
01 — The firm
Twenty-eight consultants. No call centre.
Every consultant came from the industry they now recruit into, and every mandate is run by the person who took the brief. There is no research hand-off and no junior screening layer.
Why we exist
Recruitment is a research problem.
The industry standard is to search a database and send whatever matches the keyword. That produces volume, not decisions. We start from the org chart instead: who is doing this work now, who could do it next, and what would make each of them move.
It is slower at the start and considerably faster at the end. Nine days to a shortlist, eleven days from first interview to accepted offer.
- Founded 2016 in Dhaka; London and Dubai opened in 2019 and 2022.
- Twelve live mandates per consultant, capped by contract.
- Every shortlist accompanied by the market map that produced it.
What we measure
The numbers we publish internally.
Four figures sit on the wall of every office. They are the only ones we report to the partnership each month.
- Time from brief to shortlist — nine days median.
- Shortlist-to-offer rate — one in three.
- Placements still in post at twelve months — 94%.
- Mandates from repeat clients — 68%.

The people who take the brief.
