Recruitment might seem like a simple job of matching supply-and-demand – but the truth is, it needs to be as customised as finding a partner or that tailored suit. 

If you’re a small-sized hedge fund, should I find a niche agency to meet my needs? What if I’m hiring for multiple positions across departments in a global fund admin firm? Will my requirements differ if I am hiring for a senior position for an accounting firm? 



We feel your pain – but don’t fret any longer. We’ve broken it down for you according to different sizes and hiring frequencies for Buy-Side & Fund Admin companies.

Some factors to consider:

1. HIRING FREQUENCY

• Are you planning to fill multiple spots across the organisation in the next few months urgently? Or do you have a couple of specific roles that need very targeted hiring over a longer period of time? 

   2.  SPECIALISATION

• Are potential candidates expected to have a specific set of skills or industry experience or are you hiring for more generalist positions? 

   3.  SENIORITY 

• Are you looking to hire for senior positions with a minimum number of years of experience in a particular industry, or for entry-level candidates who may be pivoting? 

   4.  GEOGRAPHY 

• Are you looking to hire just for a position in a specific country or region?

   5.  COST

• Is it in your budget to hire an external recruitment team? It’s also important to weigh the long-term cost of a wrong hire or keeping an in-house recruitment team!
