Base pay range

Senior Recruitment Consultant – Software Engineering | Buy-Side Hedge Funds

We’re hiring a Senior Recruitment Consultant who lives and breathes software engineering recruitment in the buy-side space. If you’ve got a strong network, proven billing track record, and want to step into a role with unmatched earning potential and top-tier clients, this is the one.

The Role

You’ll focus exclusively on placing high-calibre Software Engineers into elite hedge funds – real relationships, real mandates, real money. This isn’t a cold-desk situation. You’ll be supported by a business leader who’s already billed over £300k this year alone, and who gets what high-performance recruitment should look like.

You’ll operate fully remotely, with autonomy, flexibility, and the chance to bill big – all while being backed by a brand with access to the best clients in the hedge fund world.

The Package

• Base salary up to £75,000
• Commission from 25% – 40% (no thresholds)
• Fully remote – work from anywhere in the UK
• Work alongside a founder who is still on the tools and leading from the front

You Should Apply If You:

• Have 3+ years’ experience in tech recruitment (ideally buy-side or financial services)
• Have a track record of consistent billing and placing senior Software Engineers
• Thrive in a performance-driven environment where commission actually rewards effort
• Want real ownership, real clients, and zero bureaucracy

Why This Team?

We’re not a churn-and-burn agency. We build long-term partnerships with the most prestigious hedge funds in the world. Our consultants are consultative, strategic, and deeply knowledgeable – and that’s why clients trust us.

If you're tired of internal politics, meaningless KPIs, and average clients – this is your escape plan.

Ready to step up and cash in? Apply now or drop us a message – let’s talk.
