Six steps to hire a trader
- Set the pay range first. Few postings for this work state pay, so look at what similar roles near you advertise and at what your own team earns. 20% of the postings state pay; in several US states and EU countries the law requires it.
- Write the description. Start from the trader job description template, then check it with the job description checker: the pay, the place of work and the must-haves should be clear before the second paragraph.
- Decide where the person can work. 17% of today’s trader postings are remote and 0% hybrid. If yours is remote, name the countries or time zones; “remote” alone brings applications you cannot accept.
- Post it where people look. Post the job free on this site, add it to your own careers page and send it to people you know who do this work.
- Screen for the skills that matter. Today’s postings name SQL, Trading, Excel most often: check them in the work, not only in the resume. Score every candidate on the same points with the interview scorecard; the trader interview questions show what good candidates prepare for.
- Decide quickly. Half of today’s open trader postings have been up more than 74 days: a candidate who waits for your answer may be talking to other employers meanwhile. Tell every candidate when you will decide, and keep to it.
