Celine Recruiting

Celine Recruiting is a boutique recruiting agency based in New York, led by Arielle Kogut, who brings over a decade of finance industry experience and a global network of top-tier professionals. The firm leverages personal relationships built over years in finance to connect exceptional talent with transformative roles and help companies find their next top performers.

Celine Recruiting operates on the principle that staffing is fundamentally a relationship-building business rather than a numbers game. Founded and led by Arielle Kogut, a Columbia University graduate with ten years of finance experience, the firm has cultivated an extensive global network of high-caliber candidates and business leaders.

The agency provides a personalized, white-glove recruitment experience for both candidates and companies, focusing on thoughtful matching rather than volume placement. Their approach emphasizes quality over quantity, utilizing deep industry relationships to identify and connect exceptional, well-vetted talent with high-impact roles across the financial services sector.

Celine Recruiting specializes in serving venture capital and private equity firms, hedge funds and long-only investment firms, as well as boutique to global bulge bracket investment banks. Their intimate knowledge of the finance industry allows them to understand the nuanced requirements of both clients and candidates.

Beyond traditional recruitment services, the firm has expanded to offer retained advisory services, helping firms and founders navigate complex areas such as capital markets, brand building, and strategic growth initiatives. This holistic approach demonstrates their commitment to being strategic partners rather than transactional service providers.
