I am thankful to all those who said no. It's because of them I did it myself.~ Benjamin Franklin
Hiring only top traders with no consideration for anything but their rock-star status can actually impede the firm's growth. Think of it as putting together a band. By focusing strictly on top skills and expertise, you run the risk of putting together the equivalent of a band full of lead singers. You could end up with personality clashes and teams that don't work well together. In addition, if your best players are not aligned with your firms’ culture, they'll be less engaged with their colleagues and more likely to leave, or worse yet be unsuccessful.
So, hard as it may be to turn down a rock-star if you can get one, RAPTOR isn’t exclusively looking for the "best" trader. What we really want is the best person who matches our team’s work ethic and supports the culture we’ve built. You don't necessarily want the best. You want the best fit. Raptor is here to incubate and cultivate talent. You give us the input and we shall all relish the output.
