The Opportunity

Selby Jennings is looking for an experienced Quantitative Recruiter/ Manager to join our established and highly successful Quantitative Research & Trading team in New York.

This is an exciting opportunity to join one of our strongest and most established markets, working with some of the world's leading investment banks, hedge funds and proprietary trading firms.

We are open to two types of individuals:

• High-performing Experienced Consultants / Individual Contributors who want to maximise their billings, leverage an established client base and continue developing their careers as specialist recruiters.
• Experienced Managers or aspiring leaders who want to take the next step in their careers, building and developing a team within a high-performing and growing market.

Whether your ambition is to become a top-billing individual contributor or progress into leadership, we can offer a career path that supports both.

Why Join Selby Jennings?

Quantitative recruitment continues to be one of the most active and exciting areas of financial services. Our established client relationships generate consistent demand, allowing consultants to focus on identifying and placing exceptional talent rather than spending the majority of their time developing new business.

Access to an Exceptional Client Portfolio

Our extensive client network provides consultants with the opportunity to represent candidates across multiple leading financial institutions.

A single quantitative candidate can be introduced to as many as 12 clients, with candidates regularly securing multiple offers. This creates significant opportunities for consultants to maximise placements and build highly productive desks.

No Restrictions on Your Market

Unlike recruitment businesses that divide quantitative markets by asset class or client type, our consultants have the freedom to operate across the entire quantitative landscape.

This flexibility allows you to follow market opportunities, develop broader client relationships and maximise your earning potential.

National Coverage

Our New York team operates across the entire North American market, without geographical restrictions.

Rather than being limited to a particular state or region, you'll have access to opportunities across the US, giving you the freedom to develop your market wherever the strongest opportunities exist.

An Experienced and Established Team

You'll be joining an established US quantitative recruitment business of approximately 20 consultants, with around 18 based in New York and two in Chicago.

The team benefits from exceptional experience and stability, with several consultants having been with the business for between five and more than eleven years.

This provides an opportunity to work alongside experienced, successful recruiters who understand the market and have built longstanding relationships with leading financial institutions.

We recognise that not every successful recruiter wants to follow the same career path.

Whether your ambition is to become a leading individual contributor or develop into a successful people leader, we offer both routes.

For those interested in management, there is an opportunity to take on leadership responsibilities and play an important role in the continued growth of the quantitative recruitment business.

The Role

Depending on your experience and career aspirations, responsibilities may include:

• Managing and developing relationships with leading investment banks, hedge funds and proprietary trading firms.
• Identifying, engaging and placing high-calibre quantitative professionals across North America.
• Building relationships with quantitative researchers, traders and other highly specialised financial services professionals.
• Managing the full recruitment lifecycle, from candidate identification through to offer negotiation and placement.
• Developing your personal market presence and building long-term relationships with candidates and clients.
• Identifying opportunities to expand existing accounts and maximise revenue.
• For those pursuing management, leading, mentoring and developing consultants while supporting the continued growth of the team.

What We're Looking For

We're interested in speaking with ambitious, high-performing recruitment professionals who have a strong understanding of the quantitative recruitment market.

Ideally, you'll bring:

• A proven track record in quantitative recruitment, ideally covering quantitative research, trading or analytics.
• Experience recruiting into investment banks, hedge funds or proprietary trading firms.
• Strong candidate sourcing and headhunting capabilities, with the ability to engage highly sought-after quantitative professionals.
• A demonstrable history of successful placements and consistent billing performance.
• Established market knowledge and an understanding of the competitive quantitative talent landscape.
• A commercial mindset and the ambition to maximise opportunities within a high-demand market.
• Strong relationship-building skills and the ability to work with senior stakeholders.

For individuals interested in management, we would also welcome experience mentoring, developing or leading other recruitment consultants.

Previous management experience is not essential for those looking to take their first step into leadership.

What We Can Offer

• An established, high-performing quantitative recruitment business with a strong reputation in the market.
• An exceptional client portfolio spanning some of the world's leading financial institutions.
• Consistent hiring demand, providing opportunities to focus on candidate delivery and successful placements.
• Complete market flexibility, without geographical, asset-class or client-type restrictions.
• A highly experienced team, offering an environment where consultants can collaborate and learn from established recruiters.
• Two clear career paths, with opportunities to progress as either a high-performing individual contributor or a people leader.
• A strategic growth opportunity, joining a business that has identified quantitative recruitment as a priority area for continued investment.
