NOT JUST ANOTHER
RECRUITMENT AGENCY
Stanford Black connects leading hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, investment banks, scientific research houses, big data analytics firms and ambitious tech start-ups with the highest calibre professionals at every level.
We are a global leader in technology and trading recruitment firms; with all of the experience, resources and contacts you need to take full advantage of today’s fast moving business environments.
We founded Stanford Black when we saw that traditional recruitment methods were dead. Companies are adopting the same tactics and styles used over 20 years ago. We pride ourselves on being different and changing the face of recruitment at all touch points in the process.
After many years of working for large recruitment firms in the City, we became disillusioned with the industry and knew it was time to make a change. We were disheartened by the all-too-common attitudes of making quick-wins at any cost and the old-school mentality of the hard-core sell, when it simply isn’t right for the candidate or client.

We created Stanford Black to be the best and therefore we only work with the best. The best candidates, the best opportunities, the best technology teams and the best recruiters; this drives our industry-leading conversion rate and consistently wins us top-performer status amongst our valued clients.
We connect leading hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, investment banks, scientific research houses, big data analytics firms and ambitious tech start-ups with the highest calibre professionals at every level. We source only the best candidates from an array of backgrounds and institutions and as a result, we boast a hugely diverse and unique candidate pool which harbours the most sought after and niche skill sets. This enables us to offer our clients a true competitive advantage and is Stanford Black’s real point of difference.
At Stanford Black we don't just pride ourselves as Head-hunters, we hire and train the best businesspeople who have the determination to make their dreams a reality. We are a visionary firm with the drive, ambition and mentality to win individually, together and for each other. Recruitment is typically an individual profession with old school techniques; what sets us apart is our unique and open environment which allows our diverse backgrounds and natural strengths to flourish as a team. At our core we share the same moral compass; we remain humble, resilient, and ambitious with our focus on being one of the best Technology Headhunting firms in the world.
