Wall Street’s gatekeepers: These are the top 350 headhunters recruiting talent for banks, hedge funds, and private equity roles in trading, dealmaking, and investing

Strategic hiring perked up this summer as Wall Street settled into the new normal.

And the wrong personnel could mean watching competitors surge ahead of you.
