Responsibilities
- Proactively source and cultivate long-term relationships with top-tier PhD candidates, pioneering research labs, and elite industry researchers globally.
- Immerse yourself in technical domains to build a deep understanding of what world-class quantitative and computational talent looks like.
- Manage a high-volume, fast-paced inbound pipeline of applications with energy and enthusiasm.
- Deliver a highly personalized, intellectually engaging candidate experience that mirrors HRT's culture from first contact to close.

- Partner with Recruiting Coordinators to ensure an exceptionally efficient, streamlined interview process.

- Drive process improvements across pipeline management, candidate experience, and academic engagement.
Requirements
- 2+ years track record of hiring elite technical or quantitative talent against an extremely high bar.

- Full-lifecycle agility, with the ability to balance targeted campus engagement and proactive outbound scouting with the efficient management of a fast-paced inbound funnel.
- Exceptional intellectual curiosity – you are eager to deeply understand complex technical domains and can engage thoughtfully with world-class minds.
- A hands-on execution mindset. You are energized by the day-to-day momentum of active recruiting and enjoy staying close to the ground, driving results rather than focusing solely on high-level strategy.
