The organisations that do well here set the standard globally, and the recruitment professionals who thrive here are the creme de la creme.. Hiring the wrong person is expensive and disruptive. Not hiring quickly enough means losing ground.

We work with the firms in this city that are actually worth moving to. Talk to us confidentially.
Hiring staffing talent in New York?
In a market this competitive, the best candidates are not applying to your adverts. We find them.
How we work: Engaged and Consultancy
We offer two service models. Here is what each one means.
Engaged
Our Engaged service is a retained search. You pay a portion of the fee upfront and we commit our full approach to finding the right person: direct headhunting, a proper map of the relevant talent pool, regular updates, and a shortlist of candidates who have been genuinely assessed. This is the right model for senior hires, hard-to-fill roles, and anything where getting it wrong is costly.
What you get with Engaged:
- An assigned Director and dedicated research team
- Role definition and person specification brief
- Market insights and compensation intelligence review
- Narrative and GTM strategy agreement
- Timelines and review meetings agreed
- Market mapping and candidate identification
- Sourcing and proactive outreach to active and passive candidates
- Candidate screening, evaluation, thorough interviewing and shortlisting
- Regular reporting and market intelligence throughout the search
- Coordination of interviews and feedback management
- Offer negotiation and acceptance facilitation
- Post-placement candidate check-ins at 30, 60, and 90 days
Consultancy
Not every hire needs an engaged search. Our consultancy team delivers a traditional contingency service.
Not sure which is right for you?
For recruiters: your next move in New York
If you are billing well but not feeling it, or a senior professional who knows the next step should be bigger but is not sure where it is, we should talk. The New York recruitment market is full of agencies. The ones actually worth moving to are a much smaller list, and we know it well.
We will give you a straight view of what is available in this city, what it pays, and what each opportunity genuinely looks like from the inside. That means honest conversations, not just handing you a list of job options.
Everything is completely confidential.
We support every candidate with:
- Confidential career consultations with no obligation
- Access to New York roles that are never advertised
- Honest salary and total compensation benchmarking against the current market
- Interview preparation and offer negotiation support
- International opportunities through our UK and Canada network

Why Raymond George?
A dedicated US team
Our North America operation is led by Rick Coluccio, who has 15 years of experience in the recruitment industry and a deep personal network across the US market. This is not a UK firm dabbling in the States. We know this market.
A database built for this market
Our New York recruitment professional ecosystem is 9,700 strong and growing daily. Many of them are not visible anywhere else because they are not looking. That is exactly who our search reaches.
International perspective
Raymond George operates across the US, UK and Canada. That gives New York clients access to international talent, and New York-based candidates visibility of opportunities across the Atlantic and borders
Because of our relationships we often work with organisations looking to build or expand in new geographies, while their roots maybe elsewhere. That’s a great fit for us and where we have had a high degree of success as we already have developed international networks.
We also know how to support international relocation and which clients effectively do this.
Get in touch
Whether you are a recruiter in New York who wants an honest conversation about your career, or a business that needs to hire recruitment talent, we would love to hear from you. No obligation. No hard sell.
Frequently asked questions

What is Rec2Rec?
Rec2Rec stands for Recruitment to Recruitment. We place recruitment and talent acquisition professionals into recruitment businesses. It is a niche discipline and we have spent years building the network and expertise to do it well.
-
What does your Engaged service involve?
Engaged is our retained search model. A portion of the fee is paid upfront in exchange for guaranteed commitment, direct headhunting, market mapping, regular updates, and a properly assessed shortlist. In a market like New York it consistently delivers better outcomes than contingent search.

Do you cover the five boroughs?
Yes. We work across NYC. We also handle relocations for candidates moving into the New York market from other US cities or internationally.
-
I am billing well and not actively looking. Is it worth talking?
Definitely. The best opportunities in New York rarely get advertised. A 30-minute confidential call gives you a clear picture of what is available and what you could be earning. No pressure, no obligation.
-
How quickly can you move on a search?
Quickly when the situation demands it. We will be honest at the briefing stage about what is realistic for your specific brief and we will not string you along if the timeline is going to be challenging.
