We are a specialist financial services recruitment firm with an established buy-side network across hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, and systematic investment managers. We are looking to add a Quantitative Recruiter to our team — someone with genuine domain knowledge across quantitative research, trading, or technology who can operate independently, manage senior client relationships, and deliver at the highest level.
The Role
This is a recruitment role for someone who understands the quantitative finance talent market deeply — whether your background sits across quant research, systematic trading, or technology. You will manage your own desk, build and develop existing client relationships across the buy-side, and work on searches that require genuine domain credibility to execute well.
What You'll Be Doing
- Managing end-to-end recruitment across quantitative research, trading, or technology mandates
- Building and developing client relationships with hiring managers across hedge funds and systematic investment managers
- Sourcing, engaging, and managing senior quantitative candidates across research, trading, and technology functions
- Running multiple searches simultaneously with a high degree of autonomy and ownership
- Contributing to business development — identifying new client opportunities and expanding existing relationships
What We Are Looking For
- 3+ years of recruitment experience with a focus on quantitative finance — research, trading, or technology - mandatory
- Genuine domain knowledge — you understand what a quant researcher does differently from a quant developer, and can hold a credible conversation with both
- Proven client management experience — comfortable owning senior hiring manager relationships independently
- Strong candidate network across the quantitative finance talent market
- Self-motivated and commercially driven — comfortable operating with autonomy
- Based in the UK — fully remote or hybrid flexibility available
- Beneficial: Established buy-side client relationships across hedge funds or systematic investment managers
- Prior experience placing candidates at VP level and above
- Track record of retained or exclusive search mandates
What We Offer
- A well-established, curated database of senior quantitative talent and an extensive buy-side client network spanning the most recognised names in hedge funds and systematic investment management
- A mature, high-trust environment built for a senior individual contributor — no micromanagement, no unnecessary process, just the tools and support to do your best work
- Hybrid and remote flexibility
- Paid Holidays
- A genuinely strong commission structure that rewards performance without a ceiling
- Perks and incentives that reflect the level we operate at
