? Capital Markets Recruitment – Mid-Level Headhunter (Equity & Macro Research)
?London | ? Full-Time | ? Office-based majority of the week
F&L Search, A specialist executive search firm is looking to hire a capital markets recruiter to support their growth across macro and equity research. This is an opportunity to step into a warm, senior-led practice with deep, long-term client relationships in both London and New York, working on high-value, strategic mandates for leading hedge funds, research providers, and asset managers.
The focus will be on building and delivering searches across:
– Buy-side macro and equity research hiring (strategists, economists, researchers)
– Research-led roles at independent research providers (macro, thematic, multi-asset)
– Strategic hires within sell-side research (selectively)
You’ll work closely with a senior recruiter who has extensive relationships across this space, with an increasing volume of work coming from retained or exclusive mandates. The expectation is that you’ll be comfortable working end-to-end on searches (with guidance where needed), building out candidate networks, helping with pitch prep and mapping, and taking on client comms as you progress.
? What we're looking for:
* 3–7 years of experience in recruitment or executive search, ideally with capital markets exposure
* Strong interest in macro, equities, or broader market dynamics
* Comfortable working across UK and US markets
* Highly organised, commercially aware, and ambitious without ego
* Based in London and willing to be in-office for most of the week
? What’s on offer:
* High-trust, specialist environment — no KPI culture, just high standards
* Warm desk with credible senior delivery partner and real client flow
* Ability to work globally on front-office mandates
* Significant exposure to hedge funds, IRPs, and institutional asset managers
* Long-term career development — no cap on progression
If you’re looking to build a genuine specialism in capital markets recruitment and want to learn under a senior operator with a track record in the space, this is a strong opportunity.
