Overview
Parallel Partners and Next Step Systems recruit information technology professionals for full-time permanent roles in the financial services and trading industries. They match IT talent with roles at hedge funds, trading firms, banks, brokerages, and data providers across the U.S., using nationwide searches from their Chicago area offices. The firms differentiate themselves through a focused niche in financial technology recruiting, deep client and candidate networks, and a high rate of repeat business after long-standing partnerships (and after the 2014 acquisition that expanded resources). Their goal is to place top IT professionals into permanent positions at leading financial technology firms and strengthen leadership in IT recruiting.
