Recruitment Partner (Quant & Software Engineering) - Remote / Global

Evolve

RemoteFull-time

About the role

Evolve is seeking a Recruitment Partner specializing in quantitative finance and software engineering for a fully remote position. The role involves leveraging an existing candidate flow to place software engineers and quant developers into top hedge funds and trading firms. Candidates should have experience with backend, full stack, Python, C++, machine learning, or infrastructure, ideally from backgrounds in big tech, startups, or high-growth companies. The position does not require knowledge of the quant market, as Evolve provides clients and processes. Successful applicants will benefit from a performance-based fee structure, with incentives for candidate placements and interviews. This opportunity is best suited for former agency billers or boutique founders with an active candidate base, as well as recruiters looking to increase their earnings without acquiring new clients. The role is not suitable for those needing a base salary, relying on inbound leads, or starting without established candidate relationships. Interested candidates will need to provide examples of relevant placements and their outreach strategies during the application process.

The advert

Turn your existing candidate flow into $75k–$200k placements. Last week we split a $400K fee 50/50 with a partner firm into a hedge fund. That's the model. We work exclusively in quantitative finance — placing software engineers and quant developers into the top US hedge funds and trading firms. We're retained by around 80% of the top 15 in the world and our average placement fee is $200,000. Right now we have an $8M+ annual hiring funnel we can't fill alone, and we're looking for the right delivery partners to work alongside us. The Opportunity - $75K first placement, $100K second and beyond — sliding to 50/50 on performance - Pipeline incentives with our biggest client: $2,000 per 10 candidates we accept, $5,000 per onsite interview reached - Fully remote — work from anywhere - Live retained mandates across quant and software engineering - No exclusivity. No quotas. No change to how you operate. What We're Looking For You don't need to know the quant market. You need to already have software engineers — backend, full stack, Python, C++, ML, or infrastructure — coming out of big tech, startups, or high-growth companies. We provide the clients, the process, and the framework. You feed the top of the funnel and earn on results. This works best if you are: - An ex-agency biller or boutique founder with a live SWE candidate base - A recruiter who wants bigger fees without taking on new clients - Someone who wants to earn alongside an existing role or business This isn't for you if you: - Need a base salary or guaranteed income - Rely on inbound or avoid outreach - Are starting from scratch with no existing candidate relationships How to Apply After applying, we'll ask you to share: - 2–3 examples of relevant placements (software engineering preferred) - Your current focus areas and typical weekly outreach volume - One example candidate you'd submit into this market
