John Keenan’s Summary

twitter.com/john_m_keenan

I offer a recruitment experience unlike any other in NYC -- well-read on the financial markets, deep understanding of technology, and empathetic to my candidates needs. After meeting me, you will know the difference.

I focus on finding exceptional technologists and quantitative analysts for the investment banking, hedge fund sector, and cutting edge startups. Seeking brilliant C++/Java/C# developers and architects. Any product knowledge you bring to the table is a huge plus, but if you are very smart, not required.

Before recruiting, I was also a developer -- mostly Java some VB6 -- with experience at NASDAQ and Best Buy. You'll find I can understand what you do much faster than most recruiters in the industry.

Wo hui shuo idian Putong hua!
