Senior seats across quantitative trading, artificial intelligence, distributed systems, and frontier tech. A handpicked, rapidly scaling client list. Candidates who don’t get spammed.
The strongest seats in quant and frontier tech are filled before anyone hears about them. We run the searches our clients don’t post. Pods, founding seats, leadership lifts, build-outs. If you only see roles on LinkedIn, you’re seeing the wrong half of the market.
One conversation, one firm, one role at a time. Your name doesn’t move until you say so. We’ve placed people leaving funds they founded and founders leaving funds they joined. Quiet is the default.
Four hundred placements across systematic trading, HFT, AI, and distributed systems give us a view most candidates don’t have. We know which seats are real, which comp packages are honest, and which founders are worth a meeting.
Most of our candidates become clients. Most of our clients started as candidates. We track careers across a decade, not a quarter. The first call is never the last one we have.
Four domains. Deep coverage in each. Senior individual contributors through founding executives.
Twenty minutes on the phone. We listen first. You leave with something useful whether or not you take the seat.
Twenty minutes. What you’d want next. What you’d never do again. Where you are in your seat and where you’re trying to go. We listen first; the market view comes second.
If we have a fit, we walk you through it in detail. Comp, team, edge, what the seat actually is. If we don’t, we tell you that too. The 5:1 ratio exists because we don’t run people on roles that aren’t right.
We never push. If now isn’t the moment, we put you in the calendar for a few months out. Some of our best placements started years before the offer.
A small senior team by design. No associates between you and the partner. No handoffs after the first call.
