Our team of dedicated head-hunters offer unparalleled experience and market knowledge.



Bringing expertise to quantitative finance recruitment
QD Quants is a boutique recruitment firm founded to address a specific gap in the market. Too many recruiters treat quant roles like standard finance positions, missing the nuances that make systematic trading unique. We’re different.
Our approach is straightforward: we listen, we understand the market, and we make smart connections. No overcomplicated processes or cheesy sales pitches. We’re a small team of specialists who believe that recruitment doesn’t have to be complicated – but it does need to be done right.
We understand what separates a good quant from a great one. We know the difference between high-frequency and medium-frequency strategies, why latency matters, and how different firms approach risk management. This knowledge allows us to make better matches between exceptional talent and leading trading firms.
Our values underpin everything we do
Real
We are human, with long-lasting relationships – built on trust and transparency.

Deep market knowledge drives successful placements
Working with a specialized, expert recruitment firm like QD Quants can transform your hiring process. We instinctively recognize the difference between systematic traders who thrive in different market conditions and understand the technical skills that separate good quant developers from exceptional ones. Our refined screening process ensures that shortlisted candidates meet your specific requirements.
