Specialist recruitment for
the world’s trading desks
We place researchers, traders, engineers and risk specialists who keep high-performance desks competitive, across traditional and digital markets.
Where the difference is measured in microseconds and basis points
Trading is one of the most competitive talent markets in the world. The people who move the needle are few, in demand, and rarely on the open market. Hiring them takes someone who understandsthe desk, speaks the language, and already knows where the talent sits
We work this market every day. We know the funds, the prop shops, the market makers and the crypto-native desks, and we know who is good and who is moving. That depth lets us reach people a generalist never will.
The People Behind Every Search
Every mandate is handled by our CEO or one of our expert team leads, supported by marketing and a selected team of researchers and analysts – so you always have the right expertise working for you.
Build a desk that performs
Whether you are launching a strategy, scaling a desk or making a single business-critical hire, we deliver a curated shortlist of people who can perform under pressure, not a list of who happens to be available. Retained, exclusive or contingent, matched to the search rather than the other way round.
Move when it’s the right move
We represent some of the most sought-after desks in the market, including roles that are never advertised. We will be honest about fit, discreet with your search, and we will only ever put you forward with your agreement. The result is fewer conversations, but better ones.
Trusted across the desk
From reframing a mis-scoped quant brief around real production ownership and placing the right hybrid engineer, to supporting a desk's UAE expansion with a proactive placement during a new-entity launch, we are the call clients make when the hire has to be right.
