What are the responsibilities and job description for the Data Recruiter - NYC position at Higher Group?
Data Recruitment Lead – NYC
THIS IS A RECRUITING ROLE – NOT A DATA / ENGINEERING POSITION
I’m partnered with one of New York’s most prestigious Financial Services staffing firms, who have ring-fenced budget for an experienced Data recruitment lead to inherit and own an existing multi-million-dollar desk. This is a senior, direct-hire focused role with a fully built-out Tier-1 client base across Financial Services.
This firm is home to multiple seven-figure billers, with recent top performers under four years’ experience taking home $600k , and average producers billing $1M annually. The platform is proven, the demand is established, and the upside is exceptional.
In this role, you’ll take full ownership of a leading Data practice, placing into elite Hedge Funds, Asset Managers, and Private Equity firms. You’ll work directly with multi-million-dollar billing partners, have autonomy to shape the practice, and be given the opportunity — and budget — to build a team around you.
Key Highlights:
✓ $500k Realistic Take-Home: Highly achievable earnings for strong performers
✓ Seven-Figure Upside: Multiple billers at the firm consistently earn $1M
✓ Best-in-Class Comp: Base salary up to $200k 50–60% commission on all billings
✓ Established Multi-Million-Dollar Desk: Immediate ownership of a live, proven practice
✓ Tier-1 FS Clients: Hedge Funds, Asset Managers, and Private Equity firms
✓ Full Practice Ownership: Senior-level mandates with strategic control
✓ Leadership & Growth: Budget and autonomy to build and scale your own team
✓ Elite Mentorship: Direct exposure to top billing partners
✓ Partner Track: Clear route to Partner level and long-term equity
This is a rare opportunity to step into a true practice-lead role at one of the strongest Financial Services recruitment platforms in New York — offering immediate revenue, leadership scope, and genuine long-term upside.
Even if you’re not actively looking, I’m happy to have a confidential conversation.
