Hired slowly, kept for a long time.
William James grows at the pace its standards allow. We hire deliberately, pay seniority across the board, and build careers measured in decades, not engagements.
Three principles, applied consistently.
We are a small team by design. When we hire, we are looking for people who will hold relationships well across a long arc, not run a sprint.
01
We hire slowly.
The firm grows at the pace its standards allow. New hires are made because a relationship needs them, not because a quarter does.
02
We pay seniority across the board.
There are no juniors holding client relationships. Everyone who speaks to a client has the experience to do so without supervision.
03
We work on long horizons.
Most of our client relationships are measured in decades. We hire people who are excited by that pace, not impatient with it.
Tell us about yourself.
We accept open applications year-round. If your experience matches the work we are doing, we will reply within two working days. If it does not match today, we keep your note on file and may reach out later as the firm grows.
Please do not attach a CV here. If there is a fit, we will ask for one by reply so we can read it properly.
