Recruitment Consultant - Candidate Delivery
Private Banking & Wealth Management | Remote / Work-from-Anywhere
TL;DR:
We are looking for a Recruitment Consultant focused on candidate delivery, sourcing, and network development within Private Banking and Wealth Management.
This role is ideal for either:
- A high-potential junior recruiter / researcher (0-2 years) who wants to learn the business and become a specialist; or
- An experienced recruiter with an existing network or candidate pipeline in Private Banking, Wealth Management or Financial Services.
Your focus will be finding great people, building relationships and continuously expanding our candidate network - not winning clients or managing business development.
You will work across Switzerland, the UAE, Europe and the GCC, with access to modern recruitment technology, including AI tools developed in-house specifically for StratA Talent.
German, French or Arabic is a strong advantage, but not mandatory.
About StratA Talent:
StratA Talent is an independent boutique recruitment firm exclusively focused on the Private Banking and Wealth Management sector.
We partner with leading international private banks, investment banks, wealth managers, and boutique external asset managers across Europe - with Switzerland and the UAE as a core market, alongside Luxembourg and Liechtenstein - and the Middle East, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain.
Our approach is simple but rare: quality over quantity, deep partnerships, and genuine long-term relationships built on integrity, trust, and transparency.
We help clients hire the right people - not simply fill roles - and are now expanding our team with a Recruitment Consultant focused primarily on candidate delivery and network development.
About the Role:
This is a candidate-focused recruitment role within our Private Banking and Wealth Management practice.
Your primary responsibility will be to identify, approach, engage, and develop relationships with high-calibre professionals across our target markets. You will become an expert in finding the right people for our mandates and continuously expanding StratA Talent's candidate network.
You will not be expected to independently manage client relationships or win new business. Our focus is on finding someone who is excellent at - or has the potential to become excellent at - research, sourcing, networking, candidate engagement and recruitment delivery.
This role could suit two types of profiles:
- An ambitious junior recruiter or researcher with 0-2 years of experience who is eager to learn the Private Banking and Wealth Management recruitment business and develop into a specialist recruiter.
- An experienced recruiter who already has an established network or pipeline of Private Bankers, Relationship Managers, Wealth Managers, Investment Professionals, or other relevant financial services professionals.
The right person will be curious, persistent, commercially minded, highly organised, and genuinely interested in building relationships with people.
Key Responsibilities:
Candidate Sourcing & Delivery
- Identify and source Private Banking and Wealth Management professionals across Switzerland, Europe, the GCC and other relevant markets.
- Conduct targeted market research and candidate mapping to identify both active and passive candidates.
- Build and continuously expand a high-quality database and pipeline of relevant professionals.
- Approach candidates through relevant platforms, direct outreach, referrals, networking, and other sourcing channels.
- Engage passive candidates and develop genuine long-term relationships rather than simply contacting candidates for individual vacancies.
- Conduct initial candidate conversations to understand career history, motivations, client coverage, assets under management, revenue generation, market focus, mobility, and career objectives.
- Assess candidate suitability against specific mandates and provide clear, structured feedback to the recruitment team.
- Maintain regular communication with candidates throughout the recruitment process.
- Build talent pools around specific markets, client segments and profiles so that we are proactively connected to the right people before mandates arise.
Market Mapping & Network Development
- Develop a deep understanding of the Private Banking and Wealth Management talent landscape across our core markets.
- Map teams, institutions, Relationship Managers, Senior Bankers, and other relevant professionals.
- Identify emerging talent and high-performing individuals who may not be actively looking to move.
- Develop referral networks and generate introductions to additional relevant candidates.
- Continuously expand StratA Talent's reach within the Private Banking and Wealth Management community.
- Contribute to our internal market intelligence and candidate mapping initiatives.
Recruitment Process
- Coordinate candidate interviews and communication throughout the recruitment process.
- Prepare candidate profiles and CVs to a high professional standard.
- Track candidate activity, conversations, follow-ups and pipeline development accurately within our systems.
- Work closely with the senior recruitment team to ensure the right candidates are presented for each mandate.
- Follow candidates through the process and maintain relationships beyond individual placements.
What We Are Looking For:
We are open to different levels of experience. Attitude, potential, persistence, and the ability to build relationships are more important than having a specific number of years in recruitment.
You could be a strong fit if you have:
- 0-2 years of recruitment, executive search, talent acquisition, research or sales experience and are looking to specialise in a high-value niche; or
- Existing recruitment experience and a demonstrable network or candidate pipeline within Private Banking, Wealth Management or Financial Services.
- Strong research and sourcing abilities, with the curiosity to find people others may overlook.
- Excellent communication skills and the confidence to approach senior professionals.
- A natural ability to build rapport and maintain relationships over time.
- Persistence and resilience - candidate sourcing requires consistent follow-up and the ability to handle rejection.
- Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
- Commercial awareness and a genuine interest in financial markets, Private Banking and Wealth Management.
- The ambition to become an expert in a specialised recruitment market.
- The ability to work independently in a remote / work-from-anywhere environment.
Languages:
Fluency in German, French or Arabic would be a significant advantage, particularly given our focus on Switzerland and the Middle East, but none of these languages is mandatory.
What Matters Most:
We are less interested in a perfect CV than in finding the right person.
If you are early in your career, we can teach you recruitment, our markets, our processes and how to identify and assess Private Banking talent.
If you already have a strong candidate network, we want to give you the platform, tools and mandates to turn that network into a highly successful recruitment career.
What matters is that you are:
Hungry. Curious. Persistent. Professional. Relationship-driven.
And that you genuinely enjoy finding and connecting with people.
What We Offer:
- A genuine opportunity to build a career within a highly specialised recruitment niche.
- Direct exposure to the Private Banking and Wealth Management market across Europe and the Middle East.
- Full work-from-anywhere flexibility, supported by digital tools and co-working partners.
- A technology-driven recruitment environment, including AI tools developed in-house specifically for StratA Talent to improve research, sourcing and delivery.
- Structured learning and mentorship for candidates who are new to recruitment or executive search.
- Access to a growing network of senior Private Banking and Wealth Management professionals.
- Competitive remuneration with up to 40% commission upside. Our average deal size is above USD 80k, creating significant earning potential for high performers.
- A boutique environment where individual contribution is visible and valued.
- The opportunity to develop into a specialist recruiter with deep expertise in a highly valuable market.
- A collaborative, integrity-driven culture built around Integrity, Trust, Transparency, Sustainability and Strategic Execution.
How to Apply:
If you are ambitious, commercially minded and interested in building a career in specialised recruitment, we would like to hear from you.
Please attach your CV and a short note explaining why you believe you would be successful in a candidate-focused recruitment role at StratA Talent directly via LinkedIn.
If you already have a network within Private Banking or Wealth Management, tell us about it. If you are new to recruitment but believe you have the drive and ability to become exceptional at it, we would also like to hear from you.
