About the role

Finding the right Investment Associate is one of the more nuanced talent challenges in finance - the profile is specific, the pool is competitive, and the best candidates are rarely the most obvious ones.
Identifying this talent takes more than a sourcing strategy.
It requires genuine passion for finding great people, deep curiosity about what makes them exceptional, and strategic thinking to stay a step ahead in a landscape where the top candidates have no shortage of options.

Command a deep understanding of the Investment Associate profile. Build rubrics that hold up under pressure and calibrate constantly with senior investors.
Design and execute search strategies. Work with hiring managers to find the best university talent across campuses, networks, and channels others overlook-and source candidates directly before they enter our pipeline.
Develop a calibrated view of what great looks like.
Build a genuine, well-reasoned perspective on each candidate - what they're strong at, where they have gaps, and why - and refine that judgment continuously over time.
Our recruiters get to know candidates deeply, sometimes over years, and build a nuanced understanding of who they are, what motivates them, and how they think.
Manage the full offer process with care - the best candidates have the most options, and your job is to make sure they have what they need to make a n informed decision.
Evolve the approach. Use data, qualitative signals, and your own judgment to continuously sharpen how we search, assess, and hire.
Build rubrics that hold up under pressure and calibrate constantly with senior investors.

Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution (any field of study).
3+ years of experience in a demanding, fast-paced environment - recruiting, talent, or otherwise.
