Background

About Ben Styles

I have focused my career on partnering with buy-side firms and trading clients to solve their most pressing talent challenges - notably my clients are some of the world’s top hedge funds, prop traders and institutional asset managers who look for top percentile engineering talent. I take a strategic approach, aligning talent acquisition efforts with clients' long-term business objectives and growth plans. My deep industry expertise and market insights allow me to serve as a trusted advisor, providing data-driven recommendations that go beyond the traditional "order-taker" role. I work closely with leaders to understand the nuances of their teams and the specific skills required for each role, ensuring we cast a wide net to find the best fitting individual. By leveraging advanced research and candidate persona development tools, I am able to uncover top talent that may not fit the typical mold, broadening the pool of qualified applicants. ​This strategic, data-driven approach allows me to advise on talent strategy at the senior level, identifying issues and problems that may impact your organization's long-term success. Whether you're looking to build out a cutting-edge trading desk, strengthen your research team, or ensure succession planning for critical leadership roles, I am here to support.
