Delivering high-calibre quant talent to support front office and trading technology

Our client’s Quant team spans multiple asset classes, including fixed income and equities. Having worked with the client on other functions, Investigo was tasked with supporting highly specialised front office quant and trading technology roles, extending our strategic partnership into a new branch of the business.

The team faced significant recruitment obstacles: 

• Lengthy interview processes and delayed role sign-offs 
• High candidate attrition due to previous poor-quality submissions 
• Pressure to identify highly specialised quant talent quickly while maintaining rigorous standards 

Investigo implemented a consultative and proactive approach: 

• Worked closely with hiring managers to ensure candidates met technical and cultural requirements 
• Mapped interview processes to prepare candidates effectively and accelerate progression 
• Collaborated across the quant function to gain rapid access to key stakeholders 
• Anticipated hiring needs to have qualified candidates ready for immediate placement 

This approach led to: 

• Successful placement of multiple Front Office Quant Developers 
• Improved efficiency through the interview process 
• Enhanced candidate quality and strengthened trust with Quant leadership 
• Establishment of a repeatable, consultative recruitment model for complex quant roles 

We are ready to help you secure high-calibre quantitative and trading technology talent.
