Senior Recruiter – Financial Services

++Senior Recruitment Consultant — Global Financial Services++

A leading global executive search and consulting firm is seeking a Senior Recruitment Consultant to join its high-performing New York team. With a 30-year track record and offices in 17 cities worldwide, the firm partners with top financial services organisations across buy side, sell side, fintech, and private equity-backed companies. It is recognised as a premier search partner in the quantitative finance and technology markets, with average global fees exceeding $60,000 and six-figure fees making up the majority in its quant practice.

++The Opportunity++

This is a chance to join a privately owned, financially independent firm with no outside investors and a history of consistent growth—even through downturns. The business is expanding its flagship New York office into a new state-of-the-art space designed to accommodate significant headcount growth. With an average global production of $540k per desk and a proven track record of enabling recruiters to double or triple their billings, the platform offers exceptional earning potential.

++Key Responsibilities++

• Manage the full recruitment lifecycle across senior front-office and strategic hires in financial services.
• Develop new client relationships and nurture long-term partnerships.
• Collaborate within a pod-based team structure, supported by dedicated research and execution associates.
• Contribute to the firm’s expansion into growth areas such as technology, accounting & finance, legal, renewables, and real estate.
• Act as a mentor to junior colleagues, fostering a culture of collaboration and shared success.
• Deliver consistently on retained and contingent search assignments with a focus on high-level, high-value mandates.

++What They Offer++

• High-performance culture where 25–30 recruiters bill $1m+ annually, with top performers achieving $5–6m.
• Industry-leading commission structure (40–60% for $1m+ producers) and competitive draws ($60k–$90k).
• A collaborative, team-oriented environment with pods organised by product, market, or region.
• Ongoing investment in technology, research, and data (900k+ candidate records, over 400k active).
• Opportunities to own and build out new practice areas where client demand is strong but current coverage is light.
• A social and connected culture, with regular team events, celebrations, and international collaboration.

++Candidate Profile++

• Proven track record of $300k+ annual billings.
• 2–3+ years of stable experience within one firm; ideally 3–4 years in a consistent market.
• Engaging, intelligent, and collaborative—someone colleagues and clients enjoy working with.
• A natural mentor who thrives in a team setting, not just as an individual contributor.
• Based in New York and able to commit to 4–5 days a week in the office.

This role is best suited to ambitious recruiters who want to step into an all-star environment, surround themselves with top producers, and leverage a world-class platform to scale their billings into seven figures and beyond.
