Recruitment Expertise Across the New York Finance and Technology Market

New York sits at the center of the US financial system and remains one of the world’s most competitive markets for quantitative and software engineering talent.

Banks, hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, market makers and investment managers are competing with fintech companies and AI startups for many of the same technical professionals. The strongest candidates often have specialist experience, several potential opportunities and little need to apply through traditional job boards.

Goliath Partners provides specialist recruitment support across New York’s finance and technology markets. We combine detailed market knowledge with established networks in quantitative research, software engineering and trading technology to help companies identify people capable of making an immediate impact. Our work extends across four primary markets: Equities, Derivatives, Fixed Income, and Crypto.

Our recruiters understand that hiring a quantitative researcher or low-latency software engineer requires more than matching keywords on a résumé. We assess the candidate’s technical background, market experience and motivations before making an introduction.
