About our client

What you can expect to be doing:

• You will be an individual contributor in a team of 2, focussed on mapping, identifying and outreaching to the most relevant Machine Learning Scientists globally.
• Our client has a range of other hiring needs globally and you will be expected to help deliver these alongside the Head of Talent. In some cases you may partner with an exclusive search firm, in others you might work with a small group of preferred agencies, or decide to get creative and supplement these streams with direct outreach and attraction methods.
• You will help evolve and grow the EVP for their target audiences
• You will become a subject matter expert in all areas that they operate in, building knowledge of financial markets and associated employment functions.
• You will act as an owner for multiple hiring searches, and be point of contact in the absence of the Head of Talent.
• You will guide candidates through the interviews, ensuring they have ample time, preparation and desire to complete one of the more difficult processes in finance.
• You will act as an evangelist for our client in ML communities (academia, conferences, meetups, online communities).

What we're looking for:

• Someone with 4+ years of hiring Machine Learning Scientists / Quant Researchers
• A meticulous approach to talent mapping, strategic in designing talent sourcing plans, and effective at headhunting and engaging with high value targets
• Data driven approach with the ability to pull talent insights and market trends to help shape hiring strategies.
• You should mirror the values of the firm – a commitment to quality, a long-term picture of the world, a desire to hire the best possible candidates into every position and a humility to work on whatever is most important to the business at that time.
