We are a specialist recruitment and search firm focused exclusively on quant trading, technology, and portfolio management talent for hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, and other investment firms worldwide. Our work is centered around building deep, long-term relationships with a highly technical and niche global talent pool—including PhD-level mathematicians, physicists, quants, developers, and senior portfolio managers.

Our business thrives on proactive engagement, market insight, and consistent top-of-funnel relationship building—not just reactive recruiting.

We are seeking a Research Associate who will play a key role in candidate sourcing, outreach, and relationship management. This role is admin- and research-heavy at the start, with strong growth potential into a candidate-facing consultant role over time.

You will operate at the "front end" of our recruitment funnel—managing outreach, ensuring data quality, and spotting trends and market patterns that inform our strategy. Initially, all outreach will be conducted on behalf of the founders, with your messaging and campaigns going out through their inboxes. Over time, you may evolve into handling active candidate conversations directly.

• Conduct research to identify and map target candidates within the global quant finance ecosystem.
• Manage, maintain, and enrich candidate data in our database to ensure accuracy and completeness.
• Execute personalized outreach campaigns to engage with potential candidates (mid to senior-level professionals, not graduates).
• Track candidate responses and manage follow-up sequences (e.g., re-engagement at 6, 9, or 12 months).
• Book qualified candidates directly into founders' diaries or reintegrate them into long-term nurture campaigns.
• Analyze hiring trends, spot market patterns (e.g., talent flows between firms, new product launches), and deliver insights that can guide strategy.
• Conduct continuous market research, including reviewing financial registers, tracking moves of traders and quants, and monitoring global industry developments.
• Support candidate engagement through data-driven insights, ensuring quality over volume in outreach.

• 3–5 years of experience in recruitment research, candidate sourcing, or finance-related roles.
• Experience in either recruitment research or finance-related roles is essential for this position.
• Strong understanding of capital markets, investment banking, hedge funds, or quant trading (not accounting/audit).
• Ability to grasp complex financial/technical concepts and translate them into actionable research.
• Analytical mindset—comfortable spotting trends, connecting dots, and turning raw data into insights.
• Tech-savvy, with experience using LinkedIn Recruiter, sourcing tools, CRMs, and email automation platforms.
• Highly detail-oriented, organized, and proactive.
• Excellent written communication skills; capable of drafting personalized outreach that resonates with senior professionals.
• Self-starter who thrives in an international, remote-first setup.

• Background in fintech, risk management, or front-office finance roles.
• Prior experience recruiting or sourcing in quant/technology/finance markets.
• Exposure to global markets (US, UK, EU, APAC).

• Initial focus will be research, outreach, and top-of-funnel engagement.
• Potential career path into 180° consultant role (candidate-facing recruiter) with possible leadership opportunities (e.g., managing junior researchers).
• Exposure to global hedge funds and trading firms with world-class hiring standards.

• Base salary: £1,300–£2,000/month (depending on location & experience).
• KPI-based quarterly incentives tied to performance, data quality, and engagement outcomes.
• End-of-year performance bonus.
• Long-term growth opportunities in a specialized global recruitment market.

Initial Interview (with founders) – ~1 hour.

1. Technical Task (take-home, up to 2 hours):

2. LinkedIn search exercise to assess sourcing approach.

3. Candidate tracking on provided spreadsheet.
