About Us.
Fair Hill is a New York City-based boutique human capital consultancy firm specializing in the recruitment of investment and non-investment professionals for hedge funds, asset managers and investment banks.
Experience is our calling-card. Our team-members boast decades of combined employment in the fields in which we operate. When we form insights into areas of need for our clients, and identify landing spots for candidates, we do so with a practiced understanding of the individual roles and team dynamics that allow financial institutions to thrive.
Our recommendations are based around two key ideas:
A thoroughly-researched analysis of our client’s needs
A heavily-vetted network of qualified candidates
We work to save our clients time and effort, recommending only those candidates who posses the hard and soft skills needed to fulfill the role we have been hired to fill. We also manage the interview process, providing guidance from start to finish. Our market intelligence and knowledge of the competitive landscape allow us to offer counsel to both client and candidate during contract negotiations, ensuring amenable terms are reached for both parties.
Our Area of Focus:
We specialize in placing top talent across the investment landscape, including:
Investment professionals such as Portfolio Managers and Analysts across all asset classes and investment strategies
C-suite executives, including Chief Risk Officers (CROs), Chief Operating Officers (COOs), and Chief Financial Officers (CFOs)
Leadership and investment roles within hedge funds, private equity firms, and traditional asset managers
Investment professionals in tech startups, particularly those at the intersection of finance and innovation
