  • Strong proficiency in programming languages such as Python, R, or MATLAB, with experience in data manipulation and analysis.
  • In-depth knowledge of financial instruments, asset classes, and investment strategies.
  • Familiarity with risk management techniques, including MTL, VaR (Value at Risk), stress testing, and factor-based risk modeling.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
