Hedge Fund Looking For The Next 'Apprentice'
Hedge fund manager Aram Fuchs wants to hire two new analysts for his firm. But he is not looking for just any employee.
“I want someone who is obsessed with equity research,” Fuchs told HedgeFund.net in a telephone interview.
Hedge Fund Hiring, Apprentice-Style
With all the Wall Street types who are looking for jobs, and those eager to jump ship, Aram Fuchs, a partner at Fertilemind Capital, figured it’d be no problem filling a senior and junior analyst position at his hedge fund. But when his networking, interviews and other efforts didn’t yield the kind of candidates he was looking for, he decided to take another tack: hold a contest à la Donald Trump’s the Apprentice and award the gigs to the winners.
Aram Fuchs, a partner at Fertilemind Capital, has set up an online site, Capitalist Collective, for candidates to submit their best stock long or short stock picks...Fuchs doesn't give any indication whether judging style is more Simon Cowell or Cheryl Cole.
