Recruitment Associate - Hedge Fund Recruitment

Looking for a Career That Challenges and Rewards You from Day One?

Want a career that challenges your brain, rewards your hard work, and gives you real impact—not just another desk in a corporate machine?

My client is a boutique recruitment firm that connects elite talent with some of the smartest hedge funds on the planet. They work with razor-sharp minds, game-changing strategies, and people who thrive on staying ahead of the curve.

This isn’t a typical recruitment gig. No mindless cold-calling. No pointless KPIs. Instead, you’ll be headhunting brilliant people—PhDs, quant experts, and investment pros—who are shaping the future of finance.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Building relationships with top-tier candidates and clients
• Connecting exceptional talent with world-class opportunities
• Learning directly from senior experts who’ve mastered the craft
• Researching financial markets, hedge funds, and elite professionals

What We’re Looking For:

• You’re curious about finance (or eager to learn)
• You have a sharp mind, common sense, and serious ambition
• People trust you because you communicate with clarity and confidence
• You take initiative—no hand-holding needed

Why This Job?

• Work on high-level mandates across front, middle, and back-office roles
• No soul-crushing KPI nonsense—you’ll be trusted to do great work
• One-to-one coaching from experts who will help you smash it
• Flexible working hours + WFH policy
• Uncapped commission – effort = serious earnings
• Fully paid weekend breaks for top performers (Lisbon, Amsterdam, Valencia…)
• Regular socials—because it’s not all spreadsheets and phone calls
