Our Story

Celine Recruiting has been years in the making. Arielle Kogut, the Founder of Celine Recruiting, has always had a passion for connecting people. Since her studying days at Columbia University, Ms. Kogut would constantly meet new connections everywhere she went. She nurtured these new friendships by listening and paying attention to each individual's needs and desires. Often times, they would be looking to advance their career, or looking for a mentorship to switch to a different field, and having a strong network of business owners and senior professionals world-wide, Ms. Kogut would make strategic introductions. Many of her connections already had established careers in industries other than finance, such as consulting or fashion, and were able to cross into the financial industry with the help of Ms. Kogut, and many have successfully reached partner status years later. Having naturally placed candidates on her own over the years, she decided it was time to start her own recruitment agency. She excels at understanding the strengths and weaknesses of her clients, but also their motivation and goals, which helps lead to successful placements down the road.

​

Similarly, with Ms. Kogut's own career, she has seen first-hand the ways in which recruiters can shape the interviewing and placement process - for better, and for worse. Celine Recruiting was created to build a better agency - one that properly takes care of the hiring firm and the jobseekers, through thorough and responsive communication, high-quality, specialized opportunities and a unique network of candidates and employers. We've learned by having been in the seats of both the hirer and the candidate and will strive for excellence in each placement and the process along the way.

Arielle Kogut

Founder

  • LinkedIn

Building on a ten-year career in finance, Ms. Kogut founded Celine Recruiting in 2022. She has always had a strong skillset in building relationships, connecting people and an entrepreneurial drive to run her own business. After an overwhelming amount of friends and acquaintances asking her to open her own boutique recruitment agency, she finally did. 

​

Ms. Kogut graduated Columbia University with Bachelor's degree in Economics in 2013. Ms. Kogut began her finance career in investment banking. She started as an investment banking analyst at a boutique firm in New York that is focused on emerging growth companies. After three years of analytical work and roadshows expanding her network of fund managers, she moved to the buyside and became an investment analyst focused on deal sourcing at the hedge fund Hudson Bay Capital ($2B AUM at the time). Realizing the value of being a long-term investor and harnessing her relationship skills, she became the product specialist for the flagship strategy at Epoch Investment Partners, the $30B U.S.-investment arm of TD Bank, handling investor communications and managing LP relationships. Throughout her career, she has been building relationships with all types of investors - from institutions, endowments and foundations to family offices and HNW based around the world. Realizing these relationships would carry well in a fundraising role, she joined the venture capital space as a Partner at Tribe Capital, focused on fundraising and investor relations, building out their LP base and curating an experience for existing LPs. Realizing the power of her extensive network, she decided it was time to be her own entrepreneur and launched Celine Recruiting.
