Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. Hiring for Fixed Income

Mar 9 2009

Jonathan Berr

Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. has hiring plans.

According to Investment Dealers' Digest, the New York-based company plans to hire 100 people for its fixed-income business alone this year. Already, the firm's hired 20 specialists for a developing high-yield bond business, and is bringing on as many as 25 investment bankers, along with sales and trading professionals.

"The talent pool out there is very deep right now and the opportunity to grow has never been better," Shawn Matthews, the newly named chief executive of Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., told IDD. "We are looking for opportunities to grow the equity business."

Currently, Cantor employs 1,000 professionals, about 250 in fixed income. It's receiving resumes from laid-off professionals as well as dealmakers still employed at competing firms, Matthews said.

"Cantor is uniquely positioned. People want to come on to a growing platform where the business is growing," says Matthews. "It is an opportunity to hire quality people. It's our biggest priority right now. We're trying to hire great people."

A unit of Cantor Fitzgerald LP, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. is one of the Federal Reserve's primary dealer firms.

    My resume will show that I have a very promising career in the areas of leadership, corporate banking, marketing and finance. After many years of working in the above areas, I am seeking a position that will allow advancement opportunities with a growing and accomplished company.

    My record is one of managing a bank branch at all levels of support in the areas of retail banking, credit, marketing and finance.  With skills in auditing, accurate math calculations, bookkeeping, accounting, overseeing loans of $10 million dollars or more, retaining clients by building good solid and caring relationships, it will show how I can be a true asset to your company. In addition, my knowledge expands to a self-motivated, team playing individual who has consistently achieved high levels of influence over the banks strategic portfolio.

    While my resume highlights my work history, a personal interview will convey my knowledge and dedication to quality that will ensure my success within your company and provide evidence of

  • To whom it may concern:

    I traded at the C.B.O.T. for thirteen successful years.  I mainly traded 30-year bond options and 10-year note options.  I was responsible for trading and position management for a group of traders.  My yearly P/L ranged from $1.5 million-$3.3 million over the years.  After not vacationing for so many years due to constant market risk and responsibility; I took advantage of an opportunity to see the world.  I am fresh and ready to enter the market place and work with a well established trading company.  I am a very disciplined, and detail oriented person who loves to reach goals.  I look forward to speak with you soon!

    Sincerely,

    Thomas C. Duggan

  • I need to point out that posting a reply to a news story here isn't the same as applying to the company we're talking about. Check the postings here on eFC, or research the company and positions available to make sure you're a good fit before making a real approach.

    Best,

  • Dear staffing: 

    As a prior CEO of Goldman Sachs, I was recently appointed Treasury Secretary by President GW.  Bsuh.  After successfully using taxpayer dollars to save Goldman Sachs and crush those Lemans *******s, I am now looking to further my life of crime.

    I am only considering opportunities that requires a complete lack of integrity and feelings of patriotism towards my "sol called" country.

    Spending my days doing coke down in the Virgin Islands, I am available around 1pm-3pm each day as at that time I am most sober.
