“Jonathan Banjo of AJB Executive Search placed me at a well-known bank very early in my career. AJB were able to negotiate favourable terms which allowed me stay at the bank for almost 9 years and remains my best position to date. AJB spent time listening to career preferences in order to find the perfect fit (which they did) for me. I would strongly recommend AJB to other compliance professionals seeking career opportunities and will not hesitate to use them again”
Karen A – Senior Compliance Manager – November 2013“I have been dealing with AJB Executive Search for a number of years. They are an outstanding example of professionalism in the field. The regulatory environment has changed a great deal in recent years . Nevertheless, they are always well informed. The quality of the services offered is first class and their reputation precedes them and I would not hesitate to recommend the services of AJB Executive Search”
Ian-Ladd Gibbon – Head of Compliance – May 2013“I cannot speak highly enough of Jonathan Banjo and AJB Executive Search as they contributed immensely to kick starting my compliance career in 1999.
Jonathan sourced my very first compliance position with a highly regarded Asset Management company, when I had no compliance experience. This feat is a testament to his ability to get clients of AJB to see the hidden value in a candidate who on the face of it, may not have the experience but had the aptitude and desire for compliance. Jonathan went beyond the extra mile in not only getting me the position and preparing me for my first city interview but actually picked me up at the station and dropped me at offices of the client. A Highly dedicated service, also demonstrating care and compassion”
Adeyemi Johnson – Compliance Consultant – May 2013“I have known Jonathan Banjo and worked with AJB Executive Search for over 15 years and consider Jonathan to be a true professional in his field. I have recruited many individuals through AJB Executive Search and continue to be impressed by the dedicated personal and charismatic service offered by AJB. The marketplace in executive search is highly competitive and few firms stand out amongst the crowd as offering a real value added service, AJB is certainly one of the best and I have no hesitation in recommending their services.”
Brian Rowe – Chief Compliance Officer – April 2013“I have worked with Jonathan Banjo of AJB since 2010, and they have successfully assisted me with my specific career requirements.

I have approached a lot of compliance and banking specialist recruitment agencies and found the key difference which set AJB apart was the ability to look out for my best interest and not saturate me with roles that were unsuitable. AJB have not disappointed me and I am currently reaping the rewards of their tenacity and understanding of my expectations.

AJB have an in-depth understanding of the financial sector regulatory market. Jonathan is approachable and effective with a refreshing ‘can do’ attitude. He is receptive in taking on board one’s aspirations and communicating same to third parties.
