The Client:
My Client is a global specialist recruitment search firm working across Hedge Funds, Asset Management, Investment Banks, Crypto, and FinTech. They place the most in-demand technologists, data scientists, engineers, and traders into leading firms worldwide, with offices in New York, Chicago, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Shanghai.
My client takes a unique hybrid approach, blending contingent recruitment with executive search, focusing on candidates who are not only highly sought after but command exceptional salaries, with placements exceeding £1 million packages.
Typical deal sizes range from £60k-£80k, but it’s not unusual for deals to hit the £120k-£150k range.
In your first year, you can expect to complete just a handful of deals and take home between £45k-£60k.
My client is looking for bright, confident individuals who take ownership of their success - there’s no micro-management here. You’ll be trusted to learn quickly, work independently, and build your own success story.
They are upfront with candidates about the reality of recruitment: it’s tough, it’s challenging, but it’s also exciting and incredibly rewarding. This is a team that loves what they do and thrives on the pace and impact of their work.
Who They’re Looking For:
Academically excellent: You’ll need AAB+ at A-Level and a 2:1 or above from a Top 20 university.
Confident and credible: You’ll be working with some of the smartest candidates on the planet - graduates from Oxbridge and Ivy League schools who were the top 5% of their class. You must be comfortable and assured when engaging with these high performers.
Financially driven: The earning potential is huge, and you can start making serious money from day one. A recent graduate hire earned over £100k in their first year. If the idea of uncapped commission and life-changing pay excites you, this is the place to be.
Research-focused: You’ll need a methodical, detail-driven approach to succeed when recruiting for world-leading hedge funds.
Resilient and hardworking: You must be driven, ambitious, and gritty. Whether it’s through academics, sport, part-time work, or life experience, you should have a track record of pushing yourself and delivering.
What My Client Offers:
£28K starting salary
Uncapped commission from day one, up to 40%, with even higher rates once you become a Team Lead
Flexible working hours and the option to work from home after probation
Extra-long lunches for those who want to hit the gym or use the time productively
Two luxury holidays a year - previous destinations include skiing trips, Barbados, Mexico, and Mauritius
Monthly Michelin star lunch clubs and social events at London’s finest rooftop bars
Annual prizes and competitions for top performers and rookies, plus weekly rewards that everyone has the chance to win
A fully stocked drinks fridge, snack bar, and regular team breakfasts to keep you fuelled and connected
