Job description

About the Company

We are a fast-growing, boutique recruitment firm specialising in quant trading, research, and technology talent. We partner with some of the most elite hedge funds, prop shops, and trading firms globally. Beyond recruitment, we also provide capital introduction services and make proprietary investments in quantitative funds, giving us a unique perspective and network across the trading ecosystem. Our culture is high-performance, ambitious, and entrepreneurial. If you want to be surrounded by winners, work with cutting-edge talent, and see your efforts translate directly into commissions and career progression, this is the place.

About the Role

We are looking for a Junior Recruiter (Sourcing Specialist) to help us identify, engage, and qualify top-tier candidates for some of the most competitive roles in finance and trading. This is a pure sourcing role to start with, but one that can evolve quickly into a full-cycle recruiter position if you prove yourself. This role is perfect for someone with around 1 year of recruitment or sales experience who is hungry, motivated, and thrives in a start-up style environment.

Responsibilities

• Source candidates across LinkedIn, job boards, communities, and direct outreach.
• Analyse, research, mapping market/company structures/news to stay on top of market trends and alerts.
• Build and maintain candidate pipelines for niche, highly competitive roles.
• Conduct screening calls and qualify candidates against technical and cultural requirements.
• Support live mandates by delivering exceptional candidate shortlists.
• Track activity and metrics daily with discipline and consistency.
• Contribute ideas to improve sourcing strategies and recruitment processes.

Qualifications

• + year experience in market/industry research, cold calling in sales/BD/customer services purposes.

Required Skills

• Relentless drive, work ethic, and resilience. This is not a 9–5 role.
• Comfort working fully remote and independently, while staying tightly connected to the team.
• Sharp communication skills and confidence reaching out to high-calibre candidates.
• A mindset that sees rejection as fuel, not a setback.

Preferred Skills

• High rewards for high performance: Up to 50% commission on placements.
• Employee fund access: Discretionary contributions to our internal fund.
• Remote-first flexibility: Work from anywhere in the UK.
• Culture of growth: You’ll be mentored by senior recruiters and can quickly advance to full-cycle recruiting.
• Unique experiences: Opportunities to join team offsites in global financial hubs.

Pay range and compensation package

Compensation: £25k–28k base. Realistic OTE £40-50k+. Top performers can achieve £60k+ uncapped.

Equal Opportunity Statement

This is not a corporate, cushy job. This is a start-up environment where grit, ambition, and output are everything. If you are hungry to prove yourself, eager to earn, and want to build a career in a high-octane industry, you will thrive with us.
