About
A boutique practice, personally led.
Career London is founded and run by Ajay Valecha. Enquiries are read and answered personally, so you speak directly with the person responsible for your search or conversation.
The approach is deliberately small-scale: fewer, better conversations, clear communication and realistic expectations for employers and candidates alike.

Useful to know.
Is there a cost to candidates?
No. Career London does not charge candidates for exploring opportunities or discussing their next move.
How do employer terms work?
Terms depend on the type of role and engagement. They are discussed and agreed in writing before any search begins.
Do you advertise current vacancies here?
No. Rather than listing roles, we prefer to start with a conversation. Email us and we will reply personally.
Can you help businesses outside the UK?
Yes, we welcome enquiries from European businesses seeking London-based talent. Each enquiry is considered individually.
What should I include in my first email?
A short outline is enough: the role or move you have in mind, timing, and how best to reach you. Please do not attach sensitive documents at this stage.
