Bedeviled CTPartners found itself an angel.
The troubled Wall Street headhunter got a $5 million lifeline from AWM Investment, a hedge fund controlled by reclusive financier Austin W. Marxe.
The hedgie could end up more than doubling his money if CTPartners accepts a $7-a-share takeover offer from rival recruiter DHR International. The Post first reported news of the offer on Thursday.
Marxe, who also owns about 1 percent of CTPartners through another entity, bought 1.45 million shares at $3.44 apiece — well below their market value on Jan. 30. He now controls more than 18 percent of the company, regulatory filings show.
CTPartners struck the deal with Marxe after cutting its fourth-quarter profit outlook on Jan. 28 because of higher bonus payments. That sent the stock plummeting 33 percent the next day.
The New York headhunting firm, run by CEO Brian Sullivan, has been beset by scandals since December, when The Post first reported that the company is facing an investigation by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission into whether senior executives stripped female employees of profitable accounts and discriminated against them.
CTPartners, which has also run into cash-flow problems, has seen its stock fall 73 from a high of $23.15 on Nov. 12 to $6.22 Friday.
Marxe declined to comment on the share purchase.
