Job description

CTC is a cutting‑edge proprietary trading firm with a long‑term vision and a clear focus on helping the world price and manage risk. Our fun and trusting culture inspires us to solve the industry’s most challenging problems and take calculated risks in a collaborative environment.

We strive to be the most innovative firm in the industry today, tomorrow, and long into the future while upholding ethical excellence. We believe that CTC makes a positive impact on the markets, the lives of our employees, and all the communities to which we belong. Started in 1995 by a team of forward‑thinking traders, we are proud to call ourselves an industry leader that keeps making markets and each other better.

CTC is seeking a Recruiting Coordinator to join our Talent Acquisition team as a core member driving recruiting execution across campus and lateral hiring. This role is embedded in the day‑to‑day of our recruiting operation — partnering directly with recruiters, hiring managers, and candidates to move searches forward with precision and professionalism. The ideal candidate is team‑oriented, thrives in a fast‑paced environment, takes ownership of their work, and understands that a strong recruiting process is a direct reflection of the firm.

What You’ll Do

• Own interview scheduling and logistics end‑to‑end for campus and experienced hire candidates across multiple business lines
• Act as a key point of contact for candidates throughout the process, ensuring a consistent and professional experience that reflects CTC’s brand
• Partner with recruiters on pipeline management, requisition tracking, and reporting to keep searches moving efficiently and firm leadership apprised of search progress
• Drive campus recruiting logistics including info sessions, career fairs, and on‑campus events — serving as an extension of the recruiting team in those environments
• Maintain relationships with university contacts, student organizations, and career centers
• Ensure ATS data integrity and generate recruiting metrics that inform team decisions
• Support offer preparation, background checks, and onboarding handoffs
• Identify process gaps and contribute to improvements as the TA function evolves

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree
• 1+ years of recruiting coordination or HR operations experience; financial services exposure a plus
• Highly organized with strong attention to detail and ability to manage competing priorities
• Proficiency with ATS platforms and Microsoft Office Suite
• Experience in marketing, social media, or content creation in a professional role, internship, or personal project. You should have a genuine passion for using these skills to strengthen the employer brand within campus recruiting and firmwide rebranding efforts.
• Professional and proactive — someone who anticipates needs rather than waits to be directed

Nice to Haves

• Campus recruiting coordination experience
• Experience with Greenhouse Recruiting (ATS)
• Experience with scheduling software tools (e.g., ModernLoop, Goodtime, Guide, etc.)
