Recruitment Associate - Hedge Fund Recruitment

Looking for a career that challenges and rewards you from day one?

Want a role that challenges your mind, rewards your hard work, and makes a real impact—not just another desk job in a corporate setting?

My client is a boutique recruitment firm connecting elite talent with some of the smartest hedge funds globally. They work with sharp minds, innovative strategies, and people who stay ahead of the curve.

This isn’t a typical recruitment role. No cold-calling or pointless KPIs. Instead, you’ll headhunt brilliant professionals—PhDs, quant experts, and investment specialists—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 in the field
• Researching financial markets, hedge funds, and elite professionals

What We’re Looking For:

• An interest in finance or eagerness to learn
• A sharp mind, common sense, and serious ambition
• Clear and confident communication skills
• Initiative and self-motivation—no hand-holding needed

Why This Job?

• Work on high-level mandates across various roles
• No excessive KPIs—trust to deliver quality work
• One-on-one coaching from experienced professionals
• Flexible hours and WFH policy
• Uncapped commission—effort equals earnings
• Paid weekend trips for top performers (Lisbon, Amsterdam, Valencia…)
• Regular social events—because it’s not all work and no play
