Recruitment Partner (Quant & Software Engineering) - Remote / Global
Job description
Turn your existing candidate flow into $75k–$200k placements. Last week we split a $400K fee 50/50 with a partner firm into a hedge fund. That's the model. We work exclusively in quantitative finance — placing software engineers and quant developers into the top US hedge funds and trading firms. We're retained by around 80% of the top 15 in the world and our average placement fee is $200,000.
Right now we have an $8M+ annual hiring funnel we can't fill alone, and we're looking for the right delivery partners to work alongside us. The Opportunity - $75K first placement, $100K second and beyond — sliding to 50/50 on performance
- Pipeline incentives with our biggest client: $2,000 per 10 candidates we accept, $5,000 per onsite interview reached
- Fully remote — work from anywhere
- Live retained mandates across quant and software engineering
- No exclusivity. No quotas. No change to how you operate.
What We're Looking For
You don't need to know the quant market. You need to already have software engineers — backend, full stack, Python, C++, ML, or infrastructure — coming out of big tech, startups, or high-growth companies. We provide the clients, the process, and the framework. You feed the top of the funnel and earn on results. This works best if you are:
- An ex-agency biller or boutique founder with a live SWE candidate base
- A recruiter who wants bigger fees without taking on new clients
- Someone who wants to earn alongside an existing role or business This isn't for you if you:
- Need a base salary or guaranteed income
- Rely on inbound or avoid outreach
- Are starting from scratch with no existing candidate relationships How to Apply After applying, we'll ask you to share: - 2–3 examples of relevant placements (software engineering preferred)
- Your current focus areas and typical weekly outreach volume
- One example candidate you'd submit into this market
