Vivek P.

I am a specialist Talent Acquisition professional in the Trading and High-Frequency Trading (HFT) domain with deep expertise in hiring for highly niche, performance-driven roles across Quantitative Trading, Low-Latency Engineering, Research, and Core Technology teams. With hands-on experience in building teams for prop trading firms, hedge funds, and fintech-driven trading organizations, I understand that in this industry, the difference between average and exceptional talent directly impacts P&L. My recruitment approach is not transactional — it is strategic. I focus on understanding trading strategies, infrastructure stacks, risk frameworks, and performance metrics so I can accurately evaluate and match candidates not just on skill, but on trading mindset, speed, and problem-solving ability. Whether it is a C++ low-latency engineer, FPGA developer, quant researcher, or options trader, I know what “great” looks like in each role. I bring strong expertise in sourcing hard-to-find profiles using LinkedIn Recruiter, Naukri, GitHub, referrals, and deep market mapping. I do not rely on inbound resumes — I proactively hunt for elite performers who thrive in competitive, data-driven environments. My experience in mentoring junior recruiters and building recruitment pipelines has allowed me to scale hiring without compromising quality. Having worked with global trading firms and fast-growing HFT startups, I am comfortable handling confidential searches, high-value compensation structures, and fast-cycle hiring demands. I understand candidate psychology in this market — what motivates traders, quants, and engineers — and I know how to position opportunities in a way that attracts top performers. What differentiates me is my domain understanding combined with relationship-driven recruitment. I don’t just close roles; I build long-term talent networks within the trading ecosystem. I consistently deliver candidates who can operate under pressure, think in microseconds, and contribute directly to trading profitability. In a market where hiring mistakes are expensive, I act as a trusted hiring partner who brings precision, speed, and deep industry insight to every search.
