HFT Specialist Recruiter

Velorum Partners is a technically focused search firm serving a diverse range of clients, including Hedge Funds, Family Offices, Endowment Funds, Traditional Asset Managers, and Investment Banks. Our primary focus is on senior investment professionals, covering both discretionary and quantitative strategies across all asset classes globally (Europe, US, Asia, and the Middle East).

We are currently looking to hire a Front Office Recruiter specializing in technical roles within the High-Frequency Trading (HFT) space. This position will involve recruiting Quantitative Traders, Machine Learning Engineers, and Software Engineers within this sector.

Requirements:

You will ideally have 3+ years of experience working within the recruitment sector covering HFT firms– which at a minimum should include Engineers.

What we offer:

• In-depth Technical and Process Training (there is always something to learn)
• Competitive base salary
• Uncapped commission structure
• Discretionary additional bonus
• Benefits package
• Various team incentives
• Flexible/Hybrid working arrangements
• International Travel
• A structured promotional path

We expect you to have/be:

• 3+ years of HFT-related recruitment experience (Agency)
• A positive track record
• Outgoing personality
• Ambition and Drive
• IT literate with an interest in AI
• A strong interest in the financial sector
• Self-starter
• University degree (technical subject preferred but not essential)
• Client relationship management experience
• Must be eligible to work in the UK.

Additional:

The right person will be encouraged to take over the designated division after an agreed period.

This is not the sort of position where you will be constantly micro-managed, so we would like you to have a mature attitude in regards to your time management.

As a company, we are now in a phase of growth and are also interested in candidates focussing on other Front office areas.

Note:

Due to the number of candidates applying, we have to be strict with our criteria, do not apply if:

• You do not have the relevant experience in the HFT space
• You have not worked in Front Office recruitment
• You require sponsorship
• If you have only worked as an internal recruiter
• Please only apply through this advertisement

We will have other positions in the coming months, but for now this is our focus – so please only apply if you fulfil the criteria.
