We work with top candidates to connect them with category-defining companies, from early-stage startups to hedge funds and scaled ventures. Our process prioritizes fit, discretion, and clarity—whether you're exploring your next move or just want to understand what’s out there.

Fintech

At NRS Collective, we specialize in hiring for front-office and technical roles across the financial ecosystem. Whether it’s a high-frequency trading desk, a credit fund, or a fintech rethinking payments, we find quality engineers who have the communication needed to be client facing. We've placed candidates sitting directly with PMs, building complex financial systems. Our edge? A team that has worked across the main financial hubs in New York, Chicago and London for 10+ years.

Healthcare

AI is moving fast, and we help teams move faster. At NRS Collective, we work with applied AI startups building LLM-powered platforms, infrastructure tools, and agent-based systems. Whether you're looking for ML engineers, infra leads, or founding generalists, we bring talent who can go from zero to production with both speed and thoughtfulness. With a huge emphasis on understanding the difference between "True engineers" and "Co-Pilot Developers".1

AI

From AI-driven diagnostics to healthcare SaaS, we help healthtech startups build product, engineering, and operational teams that know how to navigate complexity. NRS Collective has supported founders across digital health, biotech, and insurance tech by finding talent that’s not only technically excellent, but mission-aligned. We understand that healthcare isn't just another vertical it demands a different mindset. Our founder has previously worked internally at an AI Insure-Tech firm understanding the market.
