Quant Analyst Recruiters
Hiring quantitative finance professionals requires a recruiting partner who understands the discipline at a technical level, not just the job title. NewConfig serves as dedicated Quant Analyst Recruiters for hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, asset managers, investment banks, and fintech organizations that need precise, specialized talent for permanent and executive-level roles. The quantitative finance hiring market is competitive, and firms often lose qualified candidates to competitors that move faster or offer clearer alignment between candidate expertise and business strategy.
In our experience, working with seasoned Quant Analyst Recruiters gives hiring teams a meaningful advantage at every stage of the search. NewConfig’s recruiting and search services are structured to address exactly that challenge, and the firm’s work in Quant Developer and Engineer Recruiting reflects the same technical rigor applied across the full quantitative hiring spectrum.
Why Work With NewConfig
NewConfig focuses exclusively on permanent placement and executive search for quantitative trading, research, engineering, and investment leadership roles. Rather than generalizing across broad finance categories, the team builds its search process around the specific mathematical backgrounds, programming languages, modeling frameworks, and business contexts that define each role. Evaluating a candidate for a systematic trading desk requires a fundamentally different approach than evaluating one for a risk analytics function, and NewConfig accounts for that distinction at every stage of the search. The result is a more targeted pool of candidates who align with both the technical requirements and the organizational direction of the hiring firm.

-
Quantitative Developers
