Quant Recruiter
Job Description:
• Advise students and candidates one-on-one on quant recruiting strategy, including firm selection, application timing, resume positioning, and interview preparation.
• Help place candidates at quant roles across hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, HFTs, and asset managers by leveraging your network and industry relationships.
• Hold weekly office hours (virtual) to provide open Q&A and group coaching sessions for WSQ members on recruiting, career paths, and industry trends.
• Build and maintain relationships with hiring managers and recruiting contacts at quant firms to source live opportunities for WSQ candidates.
• Track candidate pipelines and placement outcomes to continuously improve our recruiting process and identify gaps.
• Collaborate with the WSQ team to develop recruiting-focused content, including firm guides, interview prep materials, and career path resources.
• Stay current on the quant hiring landscape — which firms are hiring, what they’re looking for, compensation trends, and shifts in the recruiting cycle.
Requirements:
• You have direct experience in quant recruiting — either as a recruiter at a quant firm, a headhunter specializing in quant/trading placements, or as someone who has successfully navigated the quant recruiting process yourself.
• You have a strong network across quantitative finance, including contacts at hedge funds, prop shops, HFTs, and/or multi-manager platforms.
• You understand the nuances of quant roles — the difference between a quant researcher, quant trader, and quant developer, and what each type of firm actually looks for.
• You’re comfortable advising candidates ranging from undergrads and new grads to experienced professionals making a career switch into quant.
• You’re organized, responsive, and genuinely motivated by helping people land roles — not just filling seats.
• You communicate clearly and directly. No fluff, no runaround.
Benefits:
• Direct access to a pipeline of motivated, pre-vetted quant candidates — no cold sourcing.
• Work at the intersection of quant finance and education with a small, fast-moving team.
• Flexible, remote-first environment with autonomy over how you structure your work.
• Real impact — you’re not filling requisitions for a faceless corporation, you’re changing the trajectory of people’s careers.
