***GQR | European Vacancies – September 2012*** recruitment

High Frequency Quant Trading Team – London

While Glomac remains uncertain and markets remain volatile, high frequency traders are naturally becoming more valuable. We are fortunate to be working with one of the leading HFT groups in the world.

They have asked GQR to search for two teams of 2-6 members here in London.  We are looking to place an experienced team who have a proven track record in this space and do not feel that have adequate infrastructure, resources, support, capital etc at their current establishment.
