Thank you for your feedback. I wanted to take the time to clarify a couple of points that you raise. We are always on the look-out for the best talent globally to hire in to our Quantitative Research teams and we work closely with PhDs and Post-Doctoral researchers in mathematics, physics & other numerate disciplines all year round. We therefore have standardised materials we provide all candidates with to guide their preparation and to explain our interview process. These do state that you will meet someone for an interview after your test should you be happy doing so. Most people we interview have taken time out to meet us and - based on the feedback we have received - we have designed our assessment to ensure candidates get to meet a Researcher the first time they come to meet us. I'm sorry if this wasn't made clear; we'll ensure we accentuate this on our materials. Regarding selection methods, we have been hiring Quants out of academia for many years and have found that exploring problems one-on-one is the best method for evaluating candidates . This is also the method adopted by most of our competitors. If there is any ambiguity from the first assessment, we will arrange a subsequent interview for a second assessment, however in your case there was a disparity between what we were looking for and your skill-set. This was communicated in the feedback we provided you following your interview. I hope this clears up some of your concerns and thank you again for interviewing with us. Kind regards. The G-Research Recruitment Team.
