Start Your Career Where It Counts
Selby Jennings, part of Phaidon International, is a multi-award-winning talent partner specialising exclusively in financial services. We are focused on placing front office talent across Global Markets, Investment Banking, Asset Management, Hedge Funds, and high-growth fintech platforms.
Backed by private equity, we're now entering our most ambitious chapter yet in APAC. We are smart, driven people, with world-class training, and a relentless focus on specialist markets where the demand for high-performing front office talent never slows down.
You'll join one of our industry-leading financial services brands, where you will build deep expertise within niches such as Sales & Trading, Structuring, Research, or Investment Management, positioning yourself as a true market authority.
What You'll Be Doing
Client Development
From global investment banks and asset managers to boutique hedge funds and high-growth fintech firms, from day one you'll build and manage relationships with hiring managers and business leaders across your specialist front office market. Negotiate agreements, understand their talent needs, and become their go-to talent partner for revenue-generating hires.
Candidate Engagement
Identify and headhunt top mid-to-senior and senior front office professionals across Global Markets and Investment Banking functions. Pick up the phone. Make connections. Build a pipeline of exceptional talent through proactive outreach and genuine relationship-building within highly competitive talent pools.
End-to-End Process Management
Own the full recruitment cycle, from introductions and interviews through to offer negotiation and post-placement support. You'll be the person both clients and candidates rely on to deliver in a fast-paced, deal-driven environment.
Embrace Technology and Data
We equip our consultants with best-in-class tools and data to work smarter and move faster. You'll use technology to map front office markets, identify niche talent, track hiring trends, and sharpen your outreach - but it's your expertise and relationships that turn insight into results.
What We're Looking For
You don't need to come from financial services recruitment specifically, but you do need relevant recruitment experience and the right mindset.
- Ambition: You want to build a high-value desk, earn well, and grow quickly in a competitive market
- Communication: You're confident engaging senior stakeholders and can adapt your style across front office professionals
- Professionalism: You show up prepared, follow through, and operate with maturity in a client-facing environment
- Work ethic: You've demonstrated strong performance in a recruitment, sales, or business development setting
What We Expect
Show Up and Deliver, Consistently
Success in recruitment is built on activity. That means making the calls, having the conversations, and putting in the work, day after day. In front office markets, consistency and pipeline generation are what drive results.
Own Your Results
We'll give you the training, the tools, and the support, but what you do with them is on you. We want people who take responsibility for their desk, their client relationships, and their revenue outcomes.
