Career Hub

What Career Hub does

Career Hub is a London-based boutique recruitment services firm founded in 2014 that specializes in placing highly niche talent for the financial services, insurance, and technology sectors. The firm targets enterprise and mid-market clients requiring professionals across SAP Banking, SAP Insurance, SAP Treasury, IT Risk, Cyber Security, and financial services consulting—domains where generalist recruiters typically underperform. Career Hub runs no proprietary technology platform; its core capability is human capital expertise, a curated candidate database, and an international professional network across EMEA and the Americas.

The company delivers placements through three commercial engagement models—Contingency Recruitment (success-based fees leveraging the widest candidate pool), Exclusive Recruitment (prioritized search in exchange for client exclusivity), and Retained Recruitment (upfront fees with milestone-based delivery for senior or scarce profiles). Revenue is generated entirely from transaction fees tied to successful placements, with industry-standard contingency fees in the 15-25% of placed candidate salary range; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Career Hub is privately held by founder/management, with no external investment, parent company, or public listing. It operates from a headquarters in London and regional offices in Amsterdam, Frankfurt, New York, Paris, and Rome. Leadership consists of Recruitment Partner & Director Monika Klusek and EMEA Sourcing Recruiter Felix Millar. The firm's GTM is sales-led and consultative, targeting both clients and candidates directly through LinkedIn, a vacancy-listing website, and database/social sourcing—rather than through any automated or platform-based channel.
