The role

As a Recruitment Consultant you will build relationships with technology leaders at some of the world's most sophisticated investment firms, find and engage the engineers, data specialists and technologists they need, and run the process from start to finish.

What we are looking for

This is a completely entry-level role. You do not need recruitment experience, and you do not need a finance or technology background. What you do need is the following:

• Commercial mind-set. You understand that this is a sales role and you are excited by that.
• Proactive and ambitious. You set your own pace and it is a fast one.
• A confident communicator who is comfortable picking up the phone and speaking to senior people.

Why Saragossa?

Saragossa operates at the core of the global investment management sector. We build technology teams for private equity firms, hedge funds, asset managers, wealth managers and the vendors who serve them.

Everything we do runs on three values. Fearless, Uncompromising and Human. We are a company that is evolving, growing, and will invest in your future.

High earning potential. You earn on your first placement and every one after it. With an average fee of $50K per hire, the path to a six-figure first year is real (one of our Associates earned $120K in year one, with no prior experience - that could be you!)

Growth without limits. You will get autonomy over your own success without red tape or a rigid environment holding you back. Progression paths are very clear.
