I am planning to apply to various HFs (Two Sigma, Citadel, etc). Is it better to apply directly through their site or are there benefits of going through a recruiter?

I work at a similar firm and I went via a recruiter. From what I understand, most roles are sourced via recruiters who directly line you up to a PM/team. Had a low offer hit rate via direct application, very high via headhunters.

+1 on recruiters. You can also try the networking route. Find a friend of a friend, ask some Q’s, get an idea if there is a fit, etc. These places all have referral bonuses for employees.

You better have a stellar CV (1 in a 1000) to gain traction by directly applying through their website.
