Durlston Partners is growing, and we’re looking for experienced Recruitment Consultants (1–5 years) to join our teams across London, Dubai, and New York.

If you’re already billing, enjoy recruitment, but feel like you could be doing more with the right platform, support, and clients... this could be a very good move.

Founded in 2010, Durlston Partners specialises in connecting elite talent with the world’s leading AI/ML firms, Hedge Funds, HFTs, Digital Asset businesses and FinTechs. With offices in London, New York and Dubai, we operate globally, delivering strategic hiring solutions across some of the most competitive and fast-moving markets in the world.

• FinTech & Private Equity: From scaling startups to established institutions, we place elite software engineers, quant developers and data scientists driving innovation in financial markets.

Our network spans top-tier quant talent, AI researchers and engineers - professionals who don’t engage with job boards or generic LinkedIn outreach.

You won’t be starting from zero. You’ll be stepping into warm, active desks with: existing clients and live mandates, deep historical data and market coverage, proper platforms, tools and operational support.

What we’re looking for:

• 1–5 years’ experience in recruitment in our space
