Recruitment Associate - Hedge Fund Recruitment

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

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

My client is a boutique recruitment firm that connects elite talent with some of the smartest hedge funds worldwide. They work with innovative minds, game-changing strategies, and individuals who excel at staying ahead of the curve.

This isn’t a typical recruitment role. No mindless cold-calling. No unnecessary KPIs. Instead, you’ll be headhunting 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 who have mastered the craft
• Researching financial markets, hedge funds, and elite professionals

What We’re Looking For:

• Curiosity about finance (or eagerness to learn)
• A sharp mind, common sense, and serious ambition
• Trustworthy communication with clarity and confidence
• Initiative—self-motivated and proactive

Why This Job?

• Work on high-level mandates across front, middle, and back-office roles
• No excessive KPI pressure—you’ll be trusted to do great work
• One-to-one coaching from industry experts
• Flexible working hours and WFH policy
• Uncapped commission—your effort directly impacts your earnings
• Fully paid weekend breaks for top performers (e.g., Lisbon, Amsterdam, Valencia)
• Regular social events—because it’s not all spreadsheets and calls
