WORK HISTORY
Recruitment Consultant @Hays
I am a specialist Finance Technology recruiter working alongside the top Investment Banks, exciting Hedge Funds and fresh new Finance Technology companies in and around the London area. I look for great candidates in the early stages of their careers, with around 0-5 years of experience with a degree in Computer Science, Mathematics or similar from a leading university. Alternatively, I also look for more experienced AVP/VP level candidates looking to push their career onto the next stage, or that are just looking for an exciting change. I have consistently helped numerous talented computer scientists from Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial and Southampton universities (among others) achieve their personal goals by joining ambitious technology driven companies that focus on software development and engineering as the centre of their success.Since joining Hays, I have taken a real focus on building relationships to last, with both candidates and clients; specialising in placing engineers and developers across key Hays Finance Technology clients through a hardworking, honest and logical approach to the recruitment process.In targeting only top level institutions and candidates, I have been able to build a strong knowledge of my market and the people that form it. If you would like to hear more about the excellent opportunities to work alongside likeminded engineers, mathematicians, developers and scientists then feel free to contact me: j••••••••@hays.com
