Join a global powerhouse in financial recruitment. This firm partners with elite Hedge Funds, Private Equity firms, and cutting-edge FinTechs to place world-class talent – from data scientists and engineers to high-performing traders and technologists – into roles with seven-figure salary potential.

With offices across New York, London, Hong Kong, and beyond, they combine the speed of contingent hiring with the precision of executive search, working exclusively with top-tier candidates who are often passive, hard to reach, and always in demand.

What’s in it for you:

• £30K base salary + uncapped commission (up to 40% – even more at leadership level)
• £45K–£60K OTE in year one, with recent grads hitting £100K+
• Flexible hours, hybrid working after probation
• Luxury incentives: Barbados, Mexico, Mauritius, Michelin-star lunches, rooftop socials
• Weekly and annual prizes, even for rookies
• Team culture that actually values high performance – no micro-management, just ownership

What they’re looking for:

• Top academics – AAB+ at A-Level, 2:1 or higher from a Top 20 university
• Gravitas – You’ll be speaking to Ivy League and Oxbridge grads; confidence is essential
• Financial ambition – If big earnings and high stakes excite you, you’ll thrive here
• Analytical mindset – Research-heavy roles demand precision and methodical thinking
• Grit – Recruitment is tough. If you’ve pushed yourself in any area – sport, work, study – you’re likely a fit

What to expect:

This isn’t a ‘smile and dial’ sales job. It’s high-level headhunting for the world’s most competitive industries. The learning curve is steep, the pace is fast, and the rewards are huge. You'll be trusted to build your own desk and make an impact early.
