The smaller London trading houses have zero online presence — how do people actually find them?
With the big names you already know where to look but with the smaller shops there’s barely any public presence. Is it purely recruiters reaching out or knowing someone on the inside?
Had a recruiter mention a firm recently and couldn’t find a single thing on them, no way to tell if they’re reputable, what they trade, nothing. I’ve tried filtering LinkedIn by oil and gas filtering down to the smaller headcounts but you still get almost no useful information on what these places are actually like. Feels like even being in the industry you’d never know these places exist unless someone pointed you to them directly.
Currently middle office at an oil major, major is going through a massive reorg so need to start moving and looking at options. How are people actually finding these places?
