Provn is a specialist technology search firm working across the investment sector. Were looking for an Associate Recruitment Consultant to join the team, working across our Hedge Funds & Trading Firms practice. This is a 180 role to start - resourcing, talent mapping, and candidate delivery with the option to move into 360 further down the line, if and when thats the right path for you. The Role Youll work closely with the Practice Director, supporting live search mandates across hedge funds, trading firms, and similar businesses - helping fill roles across infrastructure, platform and trading engineering roles. The market youre working in is niche and relationship-driven, and youll be expected to build real knowledge and expertise. Youll own the candidate side of the desk - sourcing, screening, managing process, building relationships with engineers who arent actively looking. Theres a genuine path to 360 for those who want it, once youve built the market knowledge and delivery track record to support it. What Youll Be Doing * Source and screen candidates against live mandates across hedge funds and trading firms * Build and maintain talent maps across key technical functions - infrastructure, platform, trading systems * Proactively network with passive candidates - building relationships long before theres a live role to place them into * Manage candidates through process: interview prep, feedback, offer management * Support the Practice Director on live mandates - day-to-day delivery, market intelligence, candidate updates * Keep candidate and market data accurate and up to date in Provns systems * Build genuine market knowledge What Youll Bring * Recruitment experience not necessary, however strong transferable experience (sales, relationship-driven roles) prioritised. Agency / search experience always welcomed * A genuine interest in technology and financial markets - you dont need to be technical or have a deep understanding right now, but you need to want to learn and become immersed * Strong communication skills - youll be speaking to senior engineers who dont reply to generic messages * Motivated and driven to succeed. Youll be driven by the prospect of targets and exceeding expectations * Organised and detail-oriented - youre often running multiple processes at once Why This Role * Specialist market exposure from day one * Work directly alongside a Practice Director, learning how mandates are won and run, not just filled * A role you can build real depth and a genuine career in, on your own terms - 360 is available if you want it * Join a firm thats building fast, with real visibility into how a search business is run What Youll Get * Base salary + industry leading commission structure * 9-Day working fortnight * Direct mentorship from the Head of Practice and founders * If you want to move toward 360, clear and defined criteria for what that looks like - not a vague promise * Early exposure to a specialist, high-value market J-18808-Ljbffr
