# Recruitment Partner (Quant & Software Engineering) - Remote / Global at Evolve AI Ltd

- **Company:** Evolve AI Ltd
- **Location:** Remote
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** remote
- **Posted:** 2026-06-08
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-15
- **Apply:** https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/evolve/d4d0fad5-cd07-4443-9e00-8466fb39c367

## Job description

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

## About Evolve AI Ltd

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Evolve AI Ltd (trading as Evolve Group) is a specialist talent recruitment firm for quantitative and trading professionals in finance, also offering AI consultancy and bespoke software development.
- **Entity Type**: Private (unfunded, bootstrapped) – registered as a private limited company in the UK.
- **Headquarters**: London, England (International House, Nile Street, London N1 7SR)
- **Founded**: 2019 (incorporated 25 June 2019)
- **Founders**: Not publicly disclosed

## Core Business
- Primary industries: Recruitment & Staffing (specifically quantitative trading, hedge funds, investment banking) and AI Consultancy & Software Development.
- Target customers: High-performing hedge funds, investment banks, asset managers (B2B, enterprise); also SMBs and enterprises seeking AI integration and custom software.
- Mission or purpose: The recruitment arm focuses on building competitive advantages through top technical talent; the AI arm helps businesses bring AI into operations to remove bottlenecks and unlock growth.

## Products & Services
- **Quant Talent Recruitment (Evolve Group)**: Search, multi-hire, and talent-as-a-service solutions for hedge funds, investment banks, and asset managers. Focused on quantitative analysts, traders, and tech professionals.
- **AI Strategy & Roadmap (Evolve AI)**: Custom AI implementation plans with clear timelines, costs, and expected outcomes.
- **AI-Powered Automation**: Intelligent automation for data entry, reporting, document processing, and routine decision-making.
- **Bespoke Software Development**: Custom-built dashboards, workflow automation, and system integrations.
- **Private Cloud AI Platform**: Secure, GDPR/FCA-compliant AI deployment on client infrastructure for sensitive data.
- **AI Readiness Assessment**: Evaluation of existing systems, data, and workflows to identify high-impact AI opportunities.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed (unfunded, bootstrapped).
- **Key Metric**: Total funding – none raised (unfunded); annual revenue – not publicly available.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: No external investors; the company is self-funded.
- **Growth Signals**: According to Companies House, the company is active with accounts filed up to June 2024. Employee count estimated at 12 (as of June 2024) per Tracxn and 10‑50 per SignalHire – suggesting a small but stable team. The dual focus on AI consulting and quant recruitment indicates an attempt to diversify revenue streams.

## Competitive Advantages
- Niche specialization in quantitative finance talent, which is a high-demand, low-supply market.
- Offers both recruitment and AI services under one umbrella – potential to cross-sell technical talent and AI integration services to the same clients.
- Private cloud AI platform with FCA/GDPR compliance suits highly regulated financial services clients.

## Strategic Focus
- Expanding the AI consultancy arm (evolve-ai.co) as a separate growth engine alongside the core recruitment business.
- Building long-term client relationships through “talent-as-a-service” and ongoing AI optimisation.
- Focus on measurable operational improvements for clients (e.g., reduction in manual data entry, faster reporting).

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Boutique firm with a flat structure – employees likely work directly with founders. The dual nature (recruitment + AI) offers exposure to both talent acquisition and cutting-edge technology projects.
- **Remote/Hybrid**: Not explicitly stated, but the London registered address and global client base (US phone number +44) suggest hybrid or remote flexibility.
- **Perks**: Niche industry connections with top hedge funds and investment banks; opportunity to work on real AI implementations; hands-on training culture.
- **Engineering culture**: The AI side emphasizes building working tools, not slide decks – a product-focused approach. The recruitment side uses advanced tools and extensive outreach.
