Recruiter
AT Talent - Rec2Rec, New York, NY, United States
Junior Researcher – Executive Search (NYC)
New York City | Hybrid (3–4 days in office)
The Opportunity
We’re working with a specialist executive search firm to hire a Junior Researcher into their growing New York team. This is not typical recruitment. The firm operates at the top end of the market, partnering with leading organisations to appoint C-suite and senior leadership talent. Their work is retained, insight-led, and highly strategic — focused on quality over volume. With an established UK presence and a fast-growing US office, this is a rare opportunity to join early in the build of a New York team.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll work directly with a senior consultant on live executive search mandates, gaining exposure to high-level hiring from day one. Your work will focus on:
Mapping markets and identifying senior talent across specific sectors
Building detailed market insights and candidate long lists
Researching companies, leadership teams, and organisational structures
Engaging with senior professionals and building relationships over time
Supporting the delivery of retained search projects from start to finish
This is a role for someone who enjoys analysing, and understanding markets — not just sending CVs.
What Makes This Different
Most entry-level recruitment roles are:
High volume
KPI-driven
Transactional
This isn’t.
At this firm:
Research is central to the business, not back-office
You’ll gain exposure to C-suite hiring and senior decision-makers
Work is relationship-led and insight-driven, not sales-heavy
You’ll learn how businesses actually make strategic hiring decisions
Who This Would Suit
We’re looking for someone early in their career who is:
A recent graduate (2024/2025) or has ~6–12 months experience
Naturally curious, analytical, and detail-oriented
Personable and able to build relationships confidently
Ambitious, but not drawn to aggressive “salesy” environments
Interested in business, leadership, and how organisations operate
Backgrounds that tend to work well:
Graduate roles (any commercial exposure)
Expert networks
Why Join
Join a high-quality executive search firm, not a volume recruiter
Be part of a small, growing New York team with real exposure
Work directly with experienced consultants and learn fast
Get early access to senior markets and leadership hiring
Clear progression into a consultant role over time
Team building trips to the UK
The Setup
Hybrid: 3–4 days per week in office
Opportunity to spend time in the UK office during onboarding
Fast-growing US business with strong backing from the UK
Interested?
If you’re looking for something more intellectual, relationship-driven, and long-term than typical recruitment roles, this is worth a conversation.
Apply directly or message me for more detail.
