About
Cox Recruitment Group (CRG) was founded in 2026 by Kevin Cox. Mr. Cox has spent more than 20 years of his professional career in the investment management industry – recruiting at three global asset managers, and in business development at two alternative asset managers. He also spent 7 years at a recruiting firm, with a focus on clients in the investment management industry.
Mr. Cox earned a Bachelors Degree in Accounting and an MBA in Finance from Villanova University.
When he's not working, Mr Cox enjoys sports, reading, following the financial markets, and time with his wife and three children.
The CRG Difference
CRG has extensive experience in multiple asset classes, filling various front office positions - investments (portfolio management, research, product), distribution (institutional and wealth), and corporate areas (marketing, compliance, HR, operations). We believe our experience and approach is differentiated in the following ways:
Network
With two decades of investment management recruiting experience, CRG has a broad, diverse network of front office professionals across the U.S.
Assessment
Having interviewed hundreds of candidates and filled hundreds of positions over a 20+ year recruiting career, CRG is adept at matching candidate skillsets and personalities with corporate cultures.
Candidate Pool
The large, brand-name firms have dozens of clients, with hundreds of "off limits" candidates, creating a much smaller pool of potential candidates to hire. As a new, boutique firm, CRG will recruit from a much larger candidate pool.
Process
CRG uses a thorough, efficient, and repeatable recruitment process. A well-executed client engagement for CRG is analogous to the phases of a 100 meter sprint:
Preparation
Sprinters train for months for just one race, preparing to perform their best. CRG has spent more than two decades sourcing talent for the investment management industry, and applies that experience to each client engagement. A kickoff meeting is held to determine the scope of the engagement.
At the kickoff meeting, CRG gathers detailed information about the open position, and the client, to properly sell the position in the marketplace. An email summary of the intake meeting will be sent by CRG to the client for review and approval. CRG will then enter the market to recruit talent.
Efficient Start
A fast, efficient start without any wasted movements is critical for a sprinter. With a strong understanding of our client’s investment strategies and culture, CRG narrows the broad talent pool and targets the appropriate candidates.
Sourcing a diverse slate of qualified candidates is our approach for every client engagement. Candidates are vetted through two touch points before being presented: an initial phone interview, and a follow-up face-to-face conversation.
Short-listed candidates are presented to clients via email with a resume and bulleted appraisal summary.
Maintain Pace
It is imperative that sprinters continue pushing themselves toward the finish line with maximum effort and efficient movement. CRG’s targeted recruitment efforts will continue while short-listed candidates enter the established interview process, The degree of additional candidate-sourcing will be influenced by interview feedback from the client.
CRG guides and encourages clients to conduct an efficient and streamlined interview process.
Smooth Finish
Proper execution throughout the race only matters if a sprinter executes a proper finish. Sprinters are taught to accel through the finish line, and CRG does the same. CRG believes a proper finish to an engagement is when the preferred candidate accepts the client offer within the established compensation parameters.
CRG will handle communication to all short-listed candidates at the end of the search and maintain contact with the hired candidate until their start date.
White Papers
CRG will post articles and commentary about hiring best practices and search industry insights in this section on a regular basis.
