Riva Recruiting

Thinking about a move but planning to wait for the bonus? Riva Recruiting A lot of people do—and that’s exactly why you shouldn't - the fourth quarter is such a smart time to start interviewing. Many buyside firms will buy out year-end bonuses if they want the right person. Even if they don’t, you can secure an offer now and negotiate a post-bonus start date. That way you collect your bonus where you are and step straight into your new role without a scramble. The real advantage: Far less competition. Most candidates hold off until February or March. Hiring managers know it and love to lock in talent before the rush. Stronger leverage. When fewer people are in the market, your experience stands out and you’re negotiating from a position of strength. Bottom line—waiting until after bonuses means entering a crowded market. Starting the process in Q4 means you can line up your next move on your terms while everyone else is still waiting for their payout.

Final approvals typically land late Q4 or even early January—which makes this stretch the best window to secure key infrastructure hires before the January rush. Hiring in October–November means: • Less competition (most firms wait until January) • Cleaner onboarding so your new hire is fully ramped by the new year • More flexibility on package structure while budgets are still open If you’re a COO, CFO, or Head of Ops with gaps in finance, operations, treasury, or risk, now’s the time to get in front of it. Riva Recruiting focuses on buy-side infrastructure and can help you map a smart Q4 hiring plan.
