Financial Strategies Group

Finance and risk management recruitment specialists

Expertise, Discretion and Achievement

The financial recruitment specialists at Smith Hanley Associates anticipate, evaluate, and fulfill the specific quantitative, trading and technology needs for Wall Street’s elite investment banks and hedge funds. 

As a leading finance and risk & compliance recruitment agency, our Group’s continued noteworthy success is attributable to the following principal factors:

A Keen and Current Knowledge of the Ever-Changing Marketplace

With a combined total of over 50 years’ experience in the capital markets business, our tightly knit team of financial and risk management recruiters is well versed in the philosophies of the banks, funds and lead players in the industry. This Group’s client list has been kept intentionally intimate to ensure that we connect the best possible candidates and teams with the most discerning clients.

Discretion

In this business, confidentiality is paramount. Our searches are as discreet as possible with only a select few individuals reviewing the backgrounds of our candidates. Both clients and applicants are assured that their plans are subtly explored, and we keep confidentiality in mind during every step of the process.

Emphasis on Long-Term Career Achievement

Although the turnover rate at Wall Street institutions is customarily high, our method is to connect an individual’s career goals to those of our clients in order to cultivate successful long-term careers. Rather than institute temporary matches that serve an immediate purpose, Smith Hanley’s Financial Strategies Group cultivates relationships between client and applicant that will benefit both for years to come. Our goal is the perfect placement.
