About Ashit Samal

A recruitment professional specializing in high-bar hiring for quantitative trading, engineering, and core technology teams across global markets.I currently support hiring at Alphagrep, working closely with business leaders to build teams across quant, engineering, infrastructure, and campus programs in highly competitive talent markets. Previously, I worked with Squarepoint Capital, gaining exposure to institutional-grade recruitment standards and global stakeholder management.My strength lies in owning the full recruitment lifecycle — from problem definition and sourcing strategy to interview design, stakeholder alignment, and offer closure — with a strong emphasis on candidate quality and experience. I have worked across APAC, EMEA, and AMER, and routinely partner with senior leaders on niche, hard-to-fill roles.I am particularly interested in how data, process design, and market intelligence can be used to reduce hiring friction, improve signal quality, and scale teams without compromising standards.
