Hedge fund recruiters seek qualified candidates for analyst, broker, and actuary roles. They may need HR experience or knowledge of the securities industry. Recruiters may work for staffing agencies or hedge funds and require language skills for global searches.
A hedge fund recruiter actively seeks suitably qualified candidates to take on analyst, broker and actuary roles in hedge fund companies. Someone looking to become a hedge fund recruiter may gain prior experience working as a general human resources (HR) representative or work in a similar capacity. Additionally, recruiters should have some knowledge of the securities industry that they can gain through experience or study.
Many hedge funds fill vacant positions with the help of staffing agencies. While some agencies work with companies in a variety of industries, hedge funds tend to work with companies that specialize in recruiting financial sector workers. Some recruiting agencies hire entry-level workers who have completed high school but not attended college. These agents may be tasked with filling low-level management positions in hedge funds. Typically, recruiters handling entry-level positions must undergo some on-the-job training that can last for several weeks.
Brokers and analysts employed by hedge funds are relatively well paid compared to people in similar roles at banks and insurance companies. Recruiters who find candidates for these jobs often have college degrees in subjects such as personnel management or human resource administration. Additionally, someone looking to become a hedge fund recruiter may have to spend several years gaining HR experience dealing with small businesses and filling low-level positions.
Some hedge funds employ internal recruiters, and these individuals often have prior HR experience. Also, many finance companies prefer to hire recruiters who have worked in the securities industry as salespeople, supervisors or HR representatives. Investment strategies vary among hedge funds; therefore, each fund may require its recruiters to have some knowledge of the specific type of securities the fund owns. Someone who wants to become a hedge fund recruiter must have the knowledge to identify candidates who have the necessary skills to fill different positions. Therefore, hedge fund recruiters typically undergo extensive training during which they are taught about different components of the industry.
Many hedge funds buy and sell securities listed on different stock exchanges around the world and brokers are often required to have second language skills. Consequently, someone wishing to become a hedge fund recruiter may need to have completed a university degree or training course in another language. Some staffing agencies and hedge fund companies require recruiters to have the ability to speak and write in several different languages. When highly qualified positions become vacant, recruiters often have to conduct searches around the world to find qualified candidates. Therefore, language skills are essential for top-notch recruiters.
