COMPANY NEWS >> SOMEONE WANTS TO FILL FIVE VACANCIES IN THE NEXT 3.5 WEEKS

As part of our ongoing campaign to facilitate the discovery of new jobs before Christmas, we’d like to highlight somewhere which tells us it’s looking for five people before December 25th and is currently only at the CV collecting stage.

Celestino Amore, former HSBC trader-turned managing director of London-based IlliquidX, an asset trading platform specialising in the exchange of illiquid and hard-to-value assets, says he’s interested in hiring another five people with a sales and trading or business development background.

“Italian, French and Scandinavian language skills would be an asset,” says Amore.

IlliquidX has just hired three people, including a former credit structurer from Citi, a former CDS trader who’s worked at Morgan Stanley, RBS and Merrill, and a former workout specialist from Morgan Stanley.

Amore says the company’s had no difficulty hiring people (despite not offering equity). So far, the hires have come through a combination of adverts and recruiters.
