Getting Hired

Tips from the inside

“In general,” explains one source, “it’s quite difficult to get hired.”  Indeed, the hiring process is “extremely competitive”—“competition is ridiculously high.”

Crisis or no crisis, there’s always been a “high standard relating to finance knowledge, even at a basic level.”  Recruiters want to see “well-rounded candidates with strong interpersonal skills,” because, as one source explains, “the culture fit is quite important; no arrogant Goldman-esque people here.”  Although some say Barclays Capital chooses hires based “more on their potential than their existing knowledge,” the mix of tough academic and cultural standards makes “successful candidates few and far between.”
