We want our people to enjoy work and to be enabled to do their best work. 
This is driven by more than just the job itself – that’s what it feels like to work at TwentyFour.

Relationships matter at TwentyFour. We operate collegiately, sharing both risk and reward. Our investment process is highly collaborative with a focus on mutual respect, debate and consensus building. What ties us together however is a desire to get things done without fuss or friction. This has led to an enviable reputation for performance, expertise and innovation.

For young talent, our graduate programme offers the chance to start their career with easy access to fixed income experts. It’s not hard to imagine that they could be seated next to our CEO, attend client meetings, or represent the company at external events. 

Our programme has been designed to give our graduates the knowledge and training that they need to become future leaders, whilst experience via our rotation structure provides a solid understanding of how an asset management business operates. We have a great track record for offering progression and exposure to work that could takes years to gain elsewhere. We provide clarity of purpose and freedom to be entrepreneurial. Those who want to challenge the status quo and have an instinct to innovate and think creatively will enjoy working with us.

Before working with AmplifyME, we posted our opportunities on University job boards and then screened all the applications internally. Not only was this time consuming, we also couldn’t be sure we were accessing top talent at the right time.

Competition is immense, but we are not just looking for the brightest minds. We are looking for future leaders, so searching for self-awareness, empathy, drive, collaborative working, and resilience.

The EQ as well as the IQ. The CVs I receive are exemplary, showcasing stellar academics, rounded work experience and varied interests outside of work. 

As a firm, we recognise the importance of clearly presenting what we have to offer in order to attract the best talent.  Equally, it’s about looking for potential, and factors like academics, degree choice and background shouldn’t limit the opportunity to showcase this potential to top employers. We are acutely aware that we have a role in broadening the horizons of the industry, and access to and awareness in young talent are key. 

The AmplifyME ethos meant something to TwentyFour; working to attract, develop, assess and place diverse desk-ready candidates. With free access to resources, simulations, and training that can be undertaken by any undergraduate student, it was clear that the team genuinely wants to remove barriers and enhance the talent available to the industry.

We have been able to transform our recruitment processes with confidence.  We’ve recruited across three different disciplines, with the process being smooth and efficient each time. The candidates are well prepared and our employment offers are made to incredible individuals. Account management has been superb, with the team providing valuable guidance to ensure we are accessing the full potential of candidates while reducing effort and cost.

Importantly, it feels like a true partnership.
