Who We Are?

Street Advisor Group (SAG), a New York City based firm specializing in Wall Street job placements for sales traders, is comprised of over 50 recruiters and industry consultants nationwide who have built a reputation of trust around the globe. Our reputation for quality service starts with our commitment to our clients, maintaining the highest ethical standards on the street and most important, our pride in personal service and confidentiality.

What differentiates SAG?

Our vast network of relationships, industry contacts, and knowledge of Wall Street truly separates us from our competition and allows us to closely monitor employment trends. Our employees not only track and study these employment trends but adapt their search process with these changes. This is essential in finding the ideal candidate to meet our clients' needs.

Why Work With Us?

Our research and wealth of relationships on the street has enabled us to establish an elite database that is second to none. Many recruiters are Internet based new search firms that are inexperienced and do not have effective networking and researching systems in place. Our divisions are run by people who know these positions firsthand and posses the knowledge and experience on Wall Street to allow us to efficiently and effectively attract, hire, and retain high profile candidates and clients. Sales traders that produce a few million dollars a year, high performance analysts, PMs, head traders, experienced compliance officers, and other top qualified buy side and sell side candidates cannot be found through online job searches by inexperienced recruiting firms. Those might be effective and sufficient for entry level positions but not when you are looking to place a high profile professional.

Fees

A dedicated SAG consultant will research and perform due diligence on the open position at hand. While searching our database for possible candidates we will post your job opening with all of our industry contacts, multiple search engines, and Bloomberg's job listings. Fees range from as low as 20-25% percent depending on position.
