Defined Calculus offers contingent and retained services for employers, alongside industry-leading market intelligence. Respectfully we are as selective about the companies we partner with, as those in the market are with us and we assess each opportunity on its merits. From the first point of contact we treat each interaction as one that may lead to a long-term relationship. We listen intently and ask meaningful questions to generate a solid understanding of the business and technical sides of a company, before evaluating whether we can help and ultimately deliver.

From experience we understand and appreciate that an innovative start-up has completely different financial resources to a Fortune 100 organization, or for that matter any company in between. We are always open to a conversation about which terms of engagement could be mutually beneficial.

In a space where many claim to be experts, we cut through the noise by displaying genuine depth of market intelligence across specific technical fields and multiple industries. More importantly, we can speak about past results and the process followed to achieve them. 

The Defined Calculus business model is exclusively focused on Data Science, Quantitative Research, Engineering & C-Level Data appointments. Our client-base stretches across a wide range of industries in the United States, as well as other global markets including London and Singapore. We have many years of experience sourcing talent at different levels, although we have developed significant expertise at Director | VP | Head | C-Level.

Whether you are a large financial institution in New York hiring a Chief Data Officer to address data privacy and security, a tech company in San Francisco hiring a Head of Data Science, a systematic trading firm in Chicago seeking a Software Engineer or a biotechnology company with an urgent need to hire Data Scientists to help tackle the COVID-19 virus…..these are the types of searches we can deliver on.

We can speak about past success when it comes to working very effectively with HR & Talent Acquisition departments. We understand following their guidelines and best practice is a key part of the process. Ultimately we seek to develop meaningful relationships with these stakeholders, as well as business and technical personnel, in order to become a trusted talent acquisition partner over time.

Unlike most of the competition we do not advertise on behalf of employers; instead relying on the strength and depth of existing networks, a highly specialized database and crucially the trained ability to head-hunt through various platforms and events. We pride ourselves on following a meticulous approach when presenting opportunities to candidates in the market, making sure they understand the specifics up-front and assessing whether they are well qualified for the role. We aim to deliver superior options in a short time-frame.

Based on experience we understand providing first-hand market intelligence to employers throughout the talent acquisition life-cycle ensures a thorough and more informative search. Many companies rely on our valuable insights in this respect.

As a strategic talent acquisition partner, we keep our clients up-to-speed with all kinds of market activity such as evolving technical skill-sets, candidate performance trends, comparable or contrasting interview processes, varying compensation expectation levels, market volatility based on economic or other influencing factors, and crucially direct feedback from the market itself relative to the role we are trying to fill.

With a specialized business model, significant depth of market-intelligence developed over many years, consistently growing a world-class network in this space, highly skilled head-hunting methods and a relentless work ethic, we have already proven to be an extremely effective talent acquisition partner for many companies in this space.
