What does a failed C-suite hire cost a hedge fund?
Lost AUM, missed alpha, severance, replacement costs, and 6–9 months of organizational drag. Generalist recruiters can't see the bottom of this iceberg. We can — because we've sat in those seats.
See our methodologyA four-stage process, built around the cost of getting it wrong.
Every stage of our methodology directly answers a pain point our clients told us mattered most.
Discovery & Mapping
We don't start with candidates. We start with you. Two weeks of strategy sessions, P&L review, team dynamics analysis, and a complete picture of what success in this seat actually looks like — not the title, but the work.
Four niches. Deep, not wide.
We don't recruit for everything. We recruit for the corners of the U.S. financial market where the average search lasts 9 months and a wrong hire ends careers.

What clients say after 24 months.
They found us a Head of Quant Research in 34 days — something other firms couldn't do in 4 months.
Their consultants spoke the language. Every candidate they sent had been pre-validated against our actual book.
First retained search we've done that ended with a hire still in seat at year 2. Worth every penny.
