In-House Talent Researcher - Quant & Investment

For an internationally active, technology-driven investment firm in Vienna, we are building a highly selective in-house research function focused on identifying the top 0.1% of quantitative talent globally.

This is not a traditional HR role.

This is a high-precision research position requiring analytical sharpness, intellectual rigor and uncompromising standards.

What You Will Do

• Identify and engage exceptional quantitative researchers, PhDs and top-tier analysts (EU / US)
• Rigorously analyze CVs with investment-level precision
• Rank and filter candidates under strict excellence criteria
• Build long-term pipelines with strong Vienna / EU retention logic
• Work closely with the investment team to understand performance drivers
• Develop sourcing strategies beyond standard LinkedIn outreach

Requirements

What We Are Looking For

• Research-heavy recruiting background or
• Finance / Quant background with exposure to talent selection
• Exceptional attention to detail (you spot inconsistencies immediately)
• Strong pattern recognition (institutional quality, academic pedigree, brand relevance)
• Decisiveness under time pressure
• Ownership mindset & intellectual curiosity

Benefits

Why This Role Is Different

You will operate at the same bar the investment team applies to capital allocation decisions.

The quality threshold is extremely high. Judgment matters more than volume.

If you thrive in environments where standards are uncompromising and intellectual rigor is expected, we look forward to a confidential exchange.
