Yana is a HR recruitment specialist based in our New York office. She is focused on recruiting HR talent for financial services and professional services clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yana, you joined Frazer Jones in July 2024 to support the growth of our financial services recruitment team in New York, what drew you to the opportunity?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There were a lot of factors that drew me to FJ! One was the ability to join an established business that was still in a period of growth here in the US. It\u2019s the best of both worlds, being able to work in a business with an excellent global reputation and infrastructure while also being able to make an impact and put my stamp on the US business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another thing that really appealed to me was working with an amazing team of experienced recruiters who support one another\u2019s growth and development. I love collaborating closely with a team and have had the best experience of this since joining FJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to joining Frazer Jones in New York, you worked for a recruitment consultancy in London. What inspired you to move from London to New York?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the main reasons I decided to move from London to New York was to really push myself in a brand-new market. I\u2019ve always been motivated by a challenge, and I loved the idea of building out a business in new space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a personal note, I lived in the US during high school and still have family here. It was a great opportunity to make a move closer to them and to explore living in one of the most exciting cities in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what are the key differences between the UK and US recruitment markets?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A huge difference in the US recruitment market is the incredibly fast pace \u2013 employees are hired at will here (just an offer letter rather than a formal employment contract) which means that both job moves, and recruitment processes can happen very quickly! I had to adjust my working style to balance working consultatively whilst also keeping up with the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another interesting element is the importance of networking. Relationships are always important in recruitment, but I\u2019ve noticed that networking within your industry\/space is even more crucial here in the US \u2013 it\u2019s all about building connections and being a go-to thought partner.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since joining Frazer Jones in New York, what has been your most memorable moment?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of my favorite parts of my role is hosting client roundtables and networking events \u2013 I love being able to connect outside of the office and really get to know our clients on a personal level. We hosted a networking event at the end of 2024 on a gorgeous rooftop overlooking the Empire State building. I\u2019ve generally gotten used to working in NY and the incredible views but this was a real pinch me moment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What advice do you have for recruiters wanting to make the switch the US?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Take the leap! There\u2019s a ton of opportunity for recruiters here in the US with a massive market and incredible earning potential. Relocating can be a long process but be patient and make sure you ask as many questions as possible to keep yourself informed and prepared at each step. It\u2019s not often a business is happy to sponsor your relocation so make the most of it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a practical note, speak to people who have made the move before and can provide tips on the best way to get set up\/acclimatized once you arrive. The expat community is huge here and always happy to share advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
