Overview

Graduate Recruitment Consultant – Specialist Hedge Fund Headhunters. Join a global specialist recruitment search firm working across Hedge Funds, Asset Management, Investment Banks, Crypto, and FinTech. Placing 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.

Taking 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.

We are 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.

We 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.

The Right Candidate

  • 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 is on Offer

  • 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
