As I am sure you are aware 2010 is proving to be extremely active and within the past month we have seen a huge hiring surge amongst almost all institutions globally. As a team we have continued to build upon our strong client base and are now key providers to over 70% of the world’s leading Investment Houses. We have active mandates in the fields of infrastructure and software development, systems development, RAD development, arbitrage system development, pure IT and quant library development within both investment banks and buy side houses.
With a number of the leading banks re-architecting their platforms and systems, we have a variety of new and exciting roles for candidates from junior to director level. We have seen an increase in business facing roles and roles in the HFT space and further we are seeing that remuneration potential in the technology space is really starting to pick up. Lastly we have noted that many of the top firms are recognizing that they need to make the interview process quick and attractive to candidates. For this reason many clients are now turning around first interview to offer within one or two weeks and the interviews are a lot more hospitable and relaxed in nature than in previous years.
