Specialist finance recruiters and headhunters in NYC
Agile, end-to-end Recruitment solutions supporting growth across the US

Oliver James has recruited for New York's financial services firms since opening our Midtown Manhattan office in 2015. Our NYC team works with banks, asset managers, insurers and consulting firms across the city, placing mid to senior-level talent in finance, risk, actuarial, technology and transformation roles. We're specialists, not generalists. Each of our New York finance recruiters focuses on one market. They know who's hiring, what talent costs and where the strongest candidates are. That focus is why firms come to us for the hires that in-house teams and generalist agencies struggle to fill. We're part of a global recruiting firm founded in 2002, with offices worldwide. So our New York team can also draw on talent networks across the US, Europe and Asia-Pacific. With over a decade of presence and a rapidly expanding footprint across the US, we’ve become a trusted partner to many of the nation’s leading Financial Services and Professional Services firms. We connect organisations with high-calibre professionals across critical business functions, driving growth, resilience, and long-term value.
