Case Study: ExodusPoint fills six critical hedge fund engineering roles with DevsData

ExodusPoint fills 6 engineering roles in under 4 months with DevsData

ExodusPoint, a New York-based hedge fund managing over $11 billion in assets, faced the challenge of urgently hiring senior backend and Big Data specialists for their high-stakes, data-intensive trading systems. The firm required candidates with niche expertise in low-latency systems and finance, all within an uncompromisingly short timeline. They turned to the vendor DevsData for their IT recruitment services to source this rare talent.

DevsData implemented a dual-track sourcing strategy, leveraging their extensive network and targeted outreach to quickly identify and screen over 150 candidates. They delivered a shortlist within 48 hours and successfully placed six high-caliber engineers within four months. The result was a 95% offer acceptance rate, with all new hires quickly contributing to mission-critical systems and helping ExodusPoint achieve faster delivery cycles and reduced interview overhead. DevsData has since become a long-term advisory partner for the hedge fund.
