Why Work With NewConfig
NewConfig focuses exclusively on permanent placement and executive search for quantitative trading, research, engineering, and investment leadership roles, which means recruiters here understand the distinction between a quant researcher who builds factor models and a quant engineer who deploys them in production systems. Every search begins with a thorough assessment of the firm’s technology stack, mathematical modeling requirements, and business objectives, so candidates presented are genuinely qualified rather than superficially matched to a job description.
NewConfig evaluates candidates on programming languages, statistical methods, backtesting frameworks, and domain-specific knowledge rather than relying on keyword screening alone. This technical depth allows NewConfig to identify candidates who fit both the role and the broader investment culture of each organization.

Services and Capabilities
NewConfig provides permanent placement and executive search services for quantitative finance organizations hiring across technical and leadership functions, from individual contributors building risk models to C-suite executives overseeing systematic investment strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of organizations do Quant Risk Management Recruiters at NewConfig serve?
NewConfig works with hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, investment banks, asset management companies, quantitative research groups, fintech organizations, and systematic investment firms. Each of these organizations has distinct hiring needs shaped by their investment strategies, technology infrastructure, and risk management frameworks. NewConfig‘s focus on quantitative finance means the firm understands those differences and tailors each search accordingly rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
What roles do Quant Risk Management Recruiters at NewConfig specialize in placing?
NewConfig places a broad range of quantitative finance professionals, including Quantitative Developers, Quant Engineers, Quantitative Researchers, Algorithmic Trading Engineers, Risk and Portfolio Optimization Engineers, Backtesting and Simulation Engineers, Systematic Portfolio Managers, Quantitative AI Developers, Risk Analytics Developers, and senior leadership roles within systematic investment organizations. Both permanent placement and executive search are offered depending on the seniority and complexity of the role.
How does NewConfig evaluate candidates for quantitative finance roles?
NewConfig assesses candidates based on their programming language proficiency (including Python, C++, and R), mathematical modeling backgrounds, statistical knowledge, backtesting experience, and familiarity with systematic investment environments. Recruiters at NewConfig go beyond keyword matching to evaluate whether a candidate’s technical background, domain expertise, and professional experience genuinely align with the firm’s investment strategy and team structure. This process reduces the burden on internal hiring teams and produces a more focused, qualified candidate pool.
What information does NewConfig gather before starting a quant finance search?
Before presenting any candidates, NewConfig conducts a detailed discovery process covering the organization’s investment strategy, quantitative methodologies, technology stack, programming environment, team composition, risk management structure, and long-term hiring goals. This upfront work allows NewConfig to position each search accurately and identify candidates who fit not only the technical requirements of the role but also the broader culture and strategic direction of the firm. It is a deliberate process designed to produce better outcomes than broad, undifferentiated candidate sourcing.
Does NewConfig handle executive-level quant finance searches?
Yes. NewConfig conducts executive search for senior and leadership-level quantitative finance roles, including Systematic Portfolio Managers, Systematic Fixed Income Managers, Systematic Equities Managers, and other C-suite or investment leadership positions. The same technical evaluation process that applies to individual contributor searches applies to executive placements, ensuring that leadership candidates bring both strategic credibility and genuine quantitative expertise to the organizations that hire them.
Why work with specialized Quant Risk Management Recruiters rather than a generalist firm?
Generalist recruiting firms often lack the technical vocabulary, candidate network depth, and domain knowledge required to identify and evaluate quantitative finance talent accurately. Quant Risk Management Recruiters who focus specifically on this space, as NewConfig does, have built relationships with candidates across risk analytics, algorithmic trading, systematic research, and portfolio optimization. This focus allows NewConfig to access talent that does not always appear through standard job postings and to evaluate that talent against precise technical and strategic benchmarks rather than general hiring criteria.
