Buy side recruitment FAQs
Amsterdam is the country’s financial hub, home to asset managers, hedge funds, private equity firms, and insurers. Rotterdam and The Hague also host investment activity, particularly in pensions and insurance. Selby Jennings supports clients across these locations, with a strong focus on Amsterdam.
Asset management, pensions, insurance, private equity, and hedge funds are the most active. ESG and sustainable investing play a major role, with the Netherlands often seen as a leader in responsible finance within Europe.
Hiring timelines are influenced by competition for bilingual Dutch-English professionals, limited availability of niche expertise, and notice periods that often run three months or longer under Dutch employment law. Selby Jennings shortens this process by connecting firms with pre-vetted candidates, including passive talent not visible on the open market.
ESG and sustainable finance knowledge, portfolio management, quantitative analysis, private equity expertise, and regulatory compliance with AFM (Autoriteit Financiële Markten) standards are highly valued. Experience with cross-border investments is also in demand.
We combine local expertise in Amsterdam and other Dutch financial centers with access to a global candidate network. Our consultants provide compensation insights, hiring trend reports, and customised recruitment strategies, helping firms secure professionals who meet both technical and cultural requirements.
