Senior Executive Recruiter/Director of Recruiting – Finance & Accounting + (Senior & Executive Level)

Hoxton Circle | Santa Monica, Los Angeles (Hybrid) This is not an entry level recruiting role, and it’s not a volume CV pushing job. Hoxton Circle is built for commercially driven, network led professionals who think like advisors, operate with ownership, and are motivated by performance, credibility, and long term upside. If you’re energized by building relationships, closing deals, and being paid directly in proportion to the value you create, you’ll feel at home here. The Opportunity As a Senior Executive Recruiter through Director of Recruiting at Hoxton Circle, you’ll run a full desk, consultative recruitment business focused on Finance & Accounting and executive level positions, within a high trust, high performance environment. The scope of the role will align to your experience and track record, but the expectations are consistent: ownership, commercial thinking, and the ability to build and monetize senior level relationships. You’ll work closely with CFOs, Controllers, VPs of Finance, PE backed leadership teams, and senior finance professionals across Los Angeles and the broader West Coast, helping clients make critical leadership hires and guiding candidates through high impact career moves. This is a role for someone who:
Enjoys owning outcomes, not being managed
Thinks commercially and strategically
Is motivated by growth, autonomy, and uncapped earnings
Values quality relationships over transactional recruiting What You’ll Actually Do
Build and deepen a high quality professional network across Finance & Accounting at the executive level
Develop trusted, long term relationships with clients and senior candidates
Run searches end to end: discovery, strategy, execution, close
Identify and create opportunities through proactive outreach and market intelligence
Collaborate with senior peers to co broker placements and share insight
Operate like a business owner inside the firm, with real autonomy and accountability Who This Is For We are intentionally selective. You’ll thrive here if you have:
5+ years of experience in recruitment, sales, advisory, or a quota driven commercial role
Experience operating a full desk or equivalent commercial ownership
Exposure to or strong interest in Finance, Accounting, or executive level hiring
A demonstrated ability to build relationships and close
Strong communication skills and professional judgment
Curiosity, resilience, and a competitive edge
Comfort with ambiguity and accountability. You will be trusted to operate independently, proactively build your market, and take ownership of outcomes.
Sales DNA, intellectual curiosity, and ambition are non negotiable Who This Is Not For This role is not a fit if you:
Need constant supervision
Are uncomfortable with performance based compensation
Prefer inbound work over proactive relationship building
Want a job rather than a long term career with upside
Are not self motivated, accountable, or driven by responsibility, quality, and long term relationships Culture & Environment Hoxton Circle operates with:

Long term earning power well beyond year one Final Thought If you’re motivated by comfort, this won’t be the right move. If you’re motivated by growth, challenge, autonomy, and reward, we should talk. Hoxton Circle is an equal opportunity employer.
