Competition for talent on Wall Street is fierce.
Banks, hamstrung by regulators on compensation and battling the stereotype of an onerous work culture, have seen a talent flight to investing firms and Silicon Valley.
For their part, alternative-asset managers have experienced massive growth and a flood of inbound capital, requiring an ever-larger stable of investment professionals to manage the load. There's a perfect storm for hiring in private equity right now, and firms are starting their hunt for the next crop of young analysts each year.
Making the right hiring decisions has rarely been more critical. And headhunters, often unseen to the outside world, specialize in making sure C-suite execs, managing directors, and portfolio managers get it right.
Introducing Business Insider's list of the best up-and-coming headhunters on Wall Street.
After surveying finance stalwarts who regularly employ recruiting firms - as well as the upper brass of recruiting firms themselves - we've assembled a group of headhunters who have excelled at placing talent early and often in their young careers.
This list is by no means comprehensive. To be eligible, apart from sterling endorsements and a strong track record, we asked that nominees be based in or around New York City and be 40 years old or under.
