The pandemic threw the business world on its head in 2020 — and Wall Street’s headhunting community was no exception.
As the economy cratered, and the remote-work era unfolded, in-person interviews disappeared and hiring froze up.
But as Wall Street settled into the new normal, strategic hiring has perked up.
Especially in times of distress and dislocation, the right talent can set you up for years of prosperity — many firms learned this amid the financial crisis in 2008, proactively poaching the best talent from the beleaguered big banks. And the wrong personnel could mean watching competitors surge ahead of you.
Insider spoke with its network of sources and mined online data from over 80 recruitment firms to compile a list of more than 350 headhunters that find talent for Wall Street firms.
We homed in on recruiters who work with investment banks, hedge funds, private-equity firms, private-credit companies, asset managers, proprietary-trading firms, and family offices, though some of the professionals listed have expertise in other areas as well, such as real estate, venture capital, and fintech.
The searchable database contains recruiters who focus on front-office investment professionals — traders, dealmakers, portfolio managers, bankers, and the executives those people report into. We included only US personnel, and we didn’t list people who recruit primarily temporary or support staff. We also omitted recruiters for non-revenue-producing roles in such departments as risk, compliance, and legal.
