Hedge Funds, Private Equity firms, and Asset Managers rarely post public jobs. They hire through specialist recruiters who are incentivised to get you the highest package possible.
A recruiter vouching for you carries far more weight than a cold application. The buyside is a relationship-driven industry.
Recruiters earn 15–25% of your first-year base salary — paid by the firm. They want to negotiate the biggest number for you.
Good recruiters know which funds are raising, growing, or about to hire before anyone else. They're your intelligence source.
Most Hedge Fund and Private Equity roles are never posted publicly. They're filled quietly via recruiter networks before ever hitting LinkedIn or job boards.
