Specialized Recruitment for the Commodity Trading Industry

Recruiting is not just a task — it’s a profession. While it can seem straightforward, finding and securing the right talent for your own team is often more challenging than expected. That’s where VIU Partners comes in.

We specialize exclusively in the commodity trading industry, recruiting across the full value chain — from junior specialists to C-suite executives. Our role is to take the complexity out of recruitment, so you can focus on running your business.

At VIU Partners, we specialize in identifying and securing talent for commodity trading companies, banks, and hedge funds. With deep industry knowledge and a boutique approach, we help clients reduce hiring risk, save time, and gain access to candidates who may not be visible on the open market.
