Recruitment Associate - Hedge Fund Recruitment

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

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

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 individuals who thrive on staying ahead of the curve.

This isn’t a typical recruitment role. No mindless cold-calling or pointless 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 from senior experts who’ve 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
• Clear and confident communication that builds trust
• Initiative—self-motivated and proactive

Why This Job?

• Work on high-level mandates across front, middle, and back-office roles
• No overwhelming KPI pressures—trust to deliver great work
• One-on-one coaching from industry experts
• Flexible hours and WFH policy
• Uncapped commission—your effort directly influences earnings
• Fully paid weekend trips for top performers (Lisbon, Amsterdam, Valencia…)
• Regular social events—because work isn’t all spreadsheets and calls
