The Geneva headhunter for wealth management.

Hunkar Finance was born in Geneva — Rue du Grand-Pré, a few minutes from the banks we serve. This city is the world’s oldest private banking centre, and still one of its most demanding: historic private banks, a dense fabric of external asset managers, family offices, and an international clientele served from MEA, LatAm and European desks.

“Placing a candidate is a craft. Revealing the alchemy between a talent and an institution is an art.”

Why a Geneva headhunter sees what others miss

Recruiting in Geneva wealth management is not a generalist’s exercise. Which desks are genuinely growing and which are quietly freezing; which platforms welcome a moving team and which merely say so; how FINMA expectations, portability and multi-booking really weigh on a move — this is knowledge you only hold by being of this market. Our founder spent more than fifteen years in banking and private markets accompanying UHNW clients before creating the firm: we recruit in the industry we come from.

Who we serve in Geneva

• Private banks — from global platforms to houses of deliberately human scale
• External asset managers (EAM) — the fastest-moving segment of the Swiss market
• Family offices — single and multi-family, for their rare and decisive hires

And who we place: senior private bankers and relationship managers, team heads, market leaders, and the key talents around them — investment specialists, wealth planners, senior compliance officers. Current mandates are on hunkarfinance.ch.

A deliberately reversed approach

We begin with the candidate, not the mandate — your objectives first, then the seats that serve them. Salary negotiation handled for you, personalised follow-up after engagement, coaching whenever useful. And we are rewarded on the candidate’s success, not at hiring — an alignment of interests that remains rare in this profession.
