What Heads of Quant ask us first
How quickly will I see a first shortlist?
For a defined quant or forecasting brief, we work to two weeks. A mandate that is clear on stack, horizon and trading link moves faster. Complex or first-time hires take longer, and the census tells us which kind yours is before we start.
What if the role is hard to fill in my home market?
Hard-to-fill quant and forecasting roles are common in power. We lean on the register, map adjacent pools in utilities, academia and software, and approach people who are not in the market yet.
Where does the talent pool sit?
The quant and forecasting pool does not sit where the trading pool sits. Which countries run deepest for which role family is exactly what the register holds.
A quant or forecasting hire has worked when the desk makes better decisions with them than without them, and that is the bar every shortlist is set against.
