Astilon exists because we got tired of watching generalist recruiters fumble roles they didn't understand. We came from accountancy practice — so we built the agency we'd have wanted to deal with.
Between us we've prepared the accounts, run the audits, filed the returns and sat the exams. We know what a strong audit senior actually does, why a CTA changes an advisory hire, and how it feels to be a part-qualified studier weighing up a move.
That background changes everything. We can hold a real conversation with a candidate about the work, and a real conversation with a hiring partner about the gap they're trying to fill. The result is fewer, better introductions on both sides.
We've deliberately stayed boutique. One specialism, covered properly, with consultants who pick up the phone and remember your name.
We recruit across finance and accountancy and nothing else — practice and industry, from transactional finance to qualified and senior appointments.
We say no to roles outside our field. Depth beats breadth — it's the only way to give advice worth listening to.
Straight talk on salary, fit and timing, to candidates and clients alike — even when it costs us the easy placement.
You deal with a person who knows your name and your situation. Every candidate gets a reply, every time.
