About Us

Harrison Careers was founded in 2001 by Peter Harrison, a seasoned careers expert with over two decades of experience as a leading authority on entry-level hiring.

“Hey, I’m Peter, and I’m the founder and CEO at Harrison Careers. I spent my early career as a Chartered Accountant at Deloitte, then left Scotland to pursue my MBA at Kellogg Business School in Chicago. I interned at the prestigious management consulting firm McKinsey, and later joined Goldman Sachs, where I worked in New York then London as an Executive Director in Convertible Bonds.  

“While working at Goldman, I was put in charge of recruiting for London’s Equities Division (in addition to my primary job in Convertible Bond Sales), and I really enjoyed the process of interviewing and mentoring candidates. At the turn of the millennium, I left Goldman and founded Harrison Careers – it has been my passion and privilege ever since to help thousands of young people navigate the entry-level recruitment process.” 

At Harrison Careers, Peter runs an elite team of 200 interview coaches and career counselors across a variety of industry groups, with a decades-long track record of helping clients to win thousands of job offers from the world’s leading companies in Technology, Finance, Banking, Consulting, Engineering, Accounting, Law and other industries. When he’s not coaching clients, Peter is giving presentations, running, biking, snowmobiling, or hanging out with his 5 grown-up kids.
