I work as a headhunter in the high frequency space and represent a lot more high frequency trading firms but don't want to divulge my client list publicly. If you’re looking for a new job, feel free to get in touch with me and I can give you some more names and the pro's cons, locations and advice. While the firms above are systematic, some of the firms are more in the mid /lower frequency space.

I'm always looking for experianced & profitable quant traders with short term strategies.

Please get in touch.

I think its great (no sarcasm, honestly) that WSO is now a slight networking opportunity.
