Why us

Discretion at the level this market demands.

// nda

Seat-swaps stay silent

Replacing a PM or head of desk before they know is a delicate operation. We run it so no one finds out until it's done.

// verify

Track records, verified quietly

We reference and pressure-test performance claims discreetly, protecting both the candidate and your process.

// network

Warm access, not cold lists

We come from these markets. Our reach is relationship-based, not a scraped database everyone else already has.

FAQ

Questions we get asked.

Do you recruit portfolio managers and traders?
Yes. Portfolio managers, discretionary and systematic traders, quant researchers, and desk leadership for hedge funds and proprietary trading firms — all on a confidential, retained basis.
How do you keep a PM search confidential?
Every search begins under mutual NDA. Roles are never posted, candidate and client identities are protected until the appropriate stage, and we manage seat-swaps so the current seat isn't tipped off.
Do you cover proprietary trading firms and the CME ecosystem?
Yes. We recruit across proprietary trading firms and the Chicago futures/CME ecosystem as well as New York multi-strategy funds and remote systematic shops.
Retained or contingent?
Confidential hedge fund search is retained. For funds hiring continuously we also offer an embedded talent-partner retainer.
