Hedge Fund Hires for Quants - Hedge Fund Mandates  http://www.hedgefundmandates.com
I am working with various hedge funds and quantitative investors looking for exceptional quants.  While many believe Hedge Funds favor candidates with prior industry experience, many funds interested in quantitative strategies also look for applicants with – impressive academic backgrounds in  Math & Science, strong tech, and able to  programming in various computer  languages.  Providing sufficient background detail can greatly improve your chances of landing a hedge fund job or receiving capital allocation.
