Personally accountable
The person who takes the brief remains directly involved through market mapping, candidate assessment, shortlist, offer and transition.
About GFFC
Search led by industry experience.
GFFC was built on a simple belief: senior appointments in a specialist market should be led by someone who genuinely understands that market.
Why GFFC exists.
The global online trading sector is technically complex, commercially demanding and heavily shaped by regulation, technology and trust. Yet businesses are often asked to explain that world from the beginning each time they brief a recruiter.
GFFC removes that learning curve. We focus exclusively on executive and senior specialist search across Forex, CFDs, prop trading and spread betting. Our role is to understand what the appointment must achieve, identify the people capable of delivering it and manage a discreet process from first conversation to successful transition.
We remain deliberately specialist, personal and accountable.

How GFFC works
Principles that shape every mandate.
Proudly independent
GFFC is not tied to a platform, liquidity provider, payments firm or technology vendor. Search decisions are made around the client's mandate and the candidate's suitability.
Direct and honest
GFFC gives clients and candidates clear market feedback, including when expectations, compensation or timing are likely to prevent a successful outcome.
Long-term in outlook
A placement is not successful because an offer is signed. It is successful when the appointment works for the business and the individual.
