Two ways to work with us

Executive Recruitment Formal representation
Our team will take the time to understand your career, ambitions, and drivers. We will then work collaboratively to create a plan to represent you in a way that maximizes your individual interests. Every professional is different, and our team is committed to taking the time necessary to best create a plan that suits you.
Consulting Services Hourly and confidential
AlphaGen is committed to helping professionals obtain the knowledge and insights necessary to navigating a career successfully, regardless of whether we are the firm formally representing your candidacy. We understand the difficulty in navigating a career. Other recruiters tend to be biasedly motivated, and one may want a third-party, non-biased opinion when engaging management, firms, or institutions directly. This is the reason we created our consulting practice.
AlphaGen’s consulting arm is aimed at offering services to investment professionals without having to engage with us in formal representation. Investment professionals can book our market consultants for confidential sessions, paying an hourly rate to obtain market knowledge and education. Our sessions will help individuals better navigate the choppy waters of a career or recruitment process. These sessions are tailored around one’s specific needs and could include (but are not limited to):
- Guidance on market conditions
- Negotiation tips
- Market compensation analysis
- Professional development
- Maintaining leverage
- Maximizing going to market
- Pros and cons of certain moves
- Conversations with management
- Executive coaching
- Leadership coaching
- Planning for promotion

Book your consultationQuestions professionals ask us
Do I have to pay to be represented by AlphaGen?
No. If you agree to let us represent you, you become a client. If placed, our fee is paid via the investment firm at no cost to you.
AlphaGen only charges for consulting services on a per hour rate, and for clients, these services are included at no cost.
What happens if I do not receive an offer or decide not to make a move? Will I owe anything to AlphaGen?
No. A client is defined as a professional’s willingness to let AlphaGen represent them. It is not contingent upon having to actually accept an offer.
What makes AlphaGen different?
At AlphaGen, we hold ourselves to a fiduciary standard when engaging with individuals. We refuse to compromise integrity for personal financial gain. It is in our code of conduct to offer the best advice and representation for each individual, regardless of how that impacts AlphaGen’s bottom line. We believe that it is better to act with honor and integrity and lose a deal than it is to compromise ethics for short term gain.
This is why AlphaGen offers a superior experience in the market and our clients have extreme satisfaction with our services.
Why would someone not want to become an official client of AlphaGen?
Some individuals are unfortunately skeptical of the recruitment industry or have existing relationships and choose to engage directly with institutions. While AlphaGen operates much differently from most traditional recruitment firms, we understand the preconceived biases. This is the reason we created our consulting practice, which is designed for individuals who would rather engage on an hourly basis as needed.
Why would I book a consulting session?
Everyone has doctors, lawyers, therapists, and accountants who they seek out for professional advice. However, there exists no opportunity to do that in the current marketplace with regard to someone’s career. Yes, you can hire a career coach, but those professionals usually act as generalists and not specific to finance. Other recruiters offer these services, but are heavily incentivized monetarily via institutional firms, causing potential conflicts of interest.
Sometimes individuals would rather not work with a recruiting partner, or are already engaged with another recruiter or investment firm directly. In these circumstances, it can prove beneficial to engage an unbiased outside third party source. Careers are extremely important and our consulting service offerings are designed to help aid individuals without having to formally represent them.
What topics are covered in sessions?
With AlphaGen’s decade plus of experience working with investment professionals, we are able to offer unique insights and knowledge to help professionals navigate their career. Our sessions are designed to offer an unbiased experience where individuals are able to get professional expertise to help shape their career decisions.
All sessions are highly confidential and could be used for numerous reasons including but not limited to:
- Negotiations
- Maximizing leverage
- Advice regarding specific firms
- Managing one’s career
- Navigating difficult conversations
- Market and competitive analysis
- Compensation analysis
You mention confidentiality, but isn’t it a conflict of interest to offer consulting services in addition to recruiting services? How can I be sure the sessions remain confidential?
To ensure confidentiality, AlphaGen will provide NDAs prior to beginning a session. This ensures complete confidentiality and reduces the risk of information leakages to zero.
