Multi-sector recruiter Twenty Recruitment Group is to open an office in New York.

The office, due to open early next year, will be led up by Nick Careless who has recently joined Twenty as director – North America.

Managing director Adrian Kinnersley says: “We have had a lot of demand from UK banking clients for us to source senior level talent for their US operations and so it makes sense for us to open an office there.

“We have also had strong interest from international professional services firms and energy businesses that span both the US and the UK to replicate our UK model – a professional research driven offering - in the US.”
