Cannon Search

Cannon Search Group LLC was founded in New York City in 2012 by James Deyong, an executive search consultant with more than 15 years' experience placing sales and trading professionals within the equity markets. The company operates as a US-based headhunting firm focused exclusively on the financial markets, with particular expertise in equities and equities derivatives.

Cannon Search Group has been servicing US-based financial institutions for more than a decade, helping them hire revenue generators through deep talent mapping and market intelligence services. The firm's core product areas include Cash Equities, Equity Derivatives, Electronic Execution, Programme Trading, ETF Trading, Delta 1 and Futures, giving the company narrow but powerful specialisation in a competitive sector.

The firm's approach involves in-depth mapping of the verticals it operates in, allowing close partnership with clients to target individuals covering specific products and accounts. Cannon also publishes a bi-annual newsletter detailing recent moves in the space, demonstrating its commitment to being a valued knowledge partner to clients and candidates alike.
