Specialist Talent Advisory

Finding the signal others miss.

Search for quantitative investment, trading, engineering, and AI talent.

Discreetly connecting exceptional individuals with highly selective teams.

The Firm

Built from inside the industry.

Common Prior was founded from within the technical and investment communities we serve.

Our judgment comes from doing the work, building alongside the people in it, and knowing where exceptional talent sits before a search begins.

This is not talent marketing. It is search grounded in firsthand context and real networks.

Fields of Search

Method

We identify, understand, and engage the people others do not reach.

Fewer profiles. Stronger alignment.

Private Channel

Some searches should not begin publicly.

For mandates, introductions, and confidential career conversations.

Share your LinkedIn — that's enough to start. We take it from there.

Prefer to just write? hi@commonprior.com — a person, not a pipeline.

No database, no obligation — a conversation that goes no further than us.
