Recruiter - 6 month FTC

About 9fin

The world's largest asset class, debt, operates with the worst data.

Technology has revolutionized equity markets with electronic trading, quant algos and instantaneous news. However, in debt capital markets, the picture is completely different. It still behaves like it’s in the 1980s; trillions of dollars of trades are placed over the phone, news is slow, and corporate credit information is imperfect and scattered.

Our mission is to change this.

9fin's proprietary technology delivers fast and comprehensive financial, credit, legal & ESG analysis. Our clients are able to make faster, more informed decisions, win more business and most importantly, save time.

Our fast growing list of clients include 9 of the top 10 Investment Banks, leading Asset Managers, Hedge Funds and Law Firms.

The role

We are looking for a superstar Recruiter to join our high performing team in New York. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to 9fin’s future success as we look to significantly increase our Commercial capability in record time.
Working alongside another Recruiter based in NY and supported by the Director of Talent, you’ll be a key part of a lean, high performing team, responsible for hiring across our Sales & Content teams globally.
