Quantitative Talent Consultant (Algo Trading)

As a Quant Recruiter / Resume Sourcer at Callisto Talent Solutions, you will be the bridge between elite Tier-1 trading firms (HFTs, Market Makers, and Systematic Hedge Funds) and the world’s most brilliant Quantitative Researchers and Engineers. You will operate in a fast-paced, \"winner-takes-all\" environment where speed, technical credibility, and high-touch relationship management are the keys to success.

Key Responsibilities:

Deep-Dive Sourcing:

Identify and engage \"passive\" elite talent from top-tier universities and competitors using advanced Boolean search, GitHub, Kaggle, and niche research publications. Technical Pre-Screening:

Conduct initial assessments to ensure candidates possess the \"Hard Science\" DNA—fluency in $C++$, Python, $KDB+/Q$, and a mastery of probability, statistics, and linear algebra. Market Mapping:

Build and maintain an \"intelligence map\" of the HFT/MFT landscape. You should know which teams are expanding and where the best Alpha-generators are sitting. High-Stakes Negotiation:

Manage the complex offer process, including base salary, sign-on bonuses, and sophisticated \"P&L-linked\" bonus structures. Brand Ambassadorship:

Represent our agency at elite tech conferences/ Seminars and universities to build a long-term pipeline of future \"Star Quants.\"

Required Skills & Qualifications Domain Expertise:

A strong conceptual understanding of HFT/MFT strategies (Statistical Arbitrage, Market Making, Order Book Dynamics). Technical Literacy:

You don’t need to code, but you must speak the language. You should know the difference between a \"Quant Researcher\" (Signal Generation) and a \"Quant Developer\" (Low-latency Execution). The \"Headhunter\" Mindset:

Resilience is mandatory. You will be dealing with candidates who receive 5+ pings a day; your outreach must be personalized, intelligent, and persistent. Education:

A Bachelor’s degree is required
