What if you could step into a Recruitment role with…
- Exclusive hedge fund clients already hiring?
- Live, high-value mandates from day one?
- A platform that accelerates your billing and credibility immediately?
That's what we're offering. We are searching for a Lead Recruiter to join our growing Milton Keynes based team.
About the Role
As a Recruitment Consultant, you'll step into a desk aligned to high-value, ongoing demand across the global hedge fund market. This isn't about starting from zero. You'll operate within an established platform built over five years, giving you access to elite clients, live mandates and proven deal flow from day one. You'll be expected to run a full 270 desk, owning both client and candidate relationships, executing complex searches and closing high-value deals. This is a deal-making environment, not a delivery function.
You'll be supported to:
- Build credibility quickly in a new, high-performance market
- Execute retained and contingent searches for elite funds
- Engage and place world-class quant and technology talent
- Operate with pace, precision and commercial focus
All within a system designed to accelerate your billing, not slow it down.
Who We Are & Why This Role Exists
We are an Executive Search firm operating at the sharpest end of quant, finance and technology recruitment. Five years ago, we entered one of the most competitive markets in the world with no brand, no inherited clients and no right to win. Today, we consistently outperform firms with decades of heritage.
The numbers:
- $400-500k+ average production per head
- $100k-$700k fee mandates
We didn't win by luck. We won by building a platform that compounds performance - combining process, pressure and execution. Now, we're scaling that platform further.
What This Platform Gives You
From day one, you'll have access to:
- Elite hedge fund clients and live mandates
- A warm desk with active accounts and candidate networks
- A deal-making environment designed to amplify output
- Proven execution frameworks to accelerate credibility in a new market
You are not being asked to 'build a desk over time.' You are stepping into a platform where you are expected to perform immediately.
What It Takes: The kind of person that wins here
You will be a high performing Recruiter, who is passionate, driven and ready to help us build something truly special. Armed with a 'results first' mindset and strong market knowledge, you will be an expert in job qualification and account management. You will also:
- Have proven billing in the Tech, Start up or Professional Services space
- Be hungry to develop and lead a new division
- Have a strong commercial mindset
- Be able to demonstrate upward trajectory and consistent billing trends
