About Us
	We, at The Independent Portal, are a group of individuals who have many years experience in Financial Services Recruitment, and we have also worked in the Financial Services Industry itself either as Management of as Financial Advisers. So we feel we have a very good understanding of many aspects of this Industry. We have seen so many changes taking place, such as the demise of substantial direct sales forces, the introduction of punitive new legislations, the might of The Bancassurer muscling their way into this industry, and the adverse and unfair publicity that this industry has attracted.
	The area that has also been substantial affected by all these changes have been the IFA and we have to include the general public as well. We believe that the best top quality, truly impartial advice and service you can get with this industry . . . is from the IFA.

Recruitment and cutting out the middleman
	On the recruitment side, we became increasingly aware of the fact, that there were two areas that we identified that needed to be seriously readdressed. Firstly – we, as Recruitment Consultants, were inundated by good quality Financial Advisers who wished to expand their career in the Independent Sector and had limited ways of approaching or speaking direct to IFA Companies. Secondly – IFA Companies who wished to expand or recruit new staff and Advisers had very limited ways of advertising their requirements in a very cost effective manner. The only ways these IFA Companies could attract new talent was: - Using a recruitment agency who invariable charged exorbitant fees - Or the costly exercise of advertising direct in the trade journals Both methods tend to be expensive and results can be very questionable. So, this is why we set up The Independent Portal.

Control your own recruitment programme

We wanted to introduce a facility by which The IFA came first, where they can control their own recruitment programme, and cost wise, it is a complete ‘no brainer’.

Then we wanted to introduce to the Financial Adviser, and Para-planners, plus Product Specialists and not forgetting top Administrators, the opportunity of browsing a website where they can chose for themselves, at leisure, which potential employer to speak to, and when and why – and to know something about them before applying.

This effectively – is cutting out ‘the middle man’.

It is giving the IFA Company a fairer deal – and opening up this market to some key and excellent talent, who can progress their careers in a very reputable and proud part of the industry.
