From the Community: Why this Nominee Stands Out

“Alberto is the sole recruiter spearheading all US campus recruitment. He has made a meaningful impact by reimagining the strategic landscape of how we engage with our early talent placing an emphasis on strong relationship-building with key universities and sourcing top talent interested in the finance and tech space. Early career recruitment for MarketAxess has never had such a bespoke and innovative approach and since his joining, we have seen an increase in candidate satisfaction and candidate quality. Year over year Alberto and his stakeholders are making the case to increase analyst headcount so they can extend more return offers to interns due to the overwhelming success of the program he has built and from a recruitment lens, singlehanded maintains. This has allowed for a rise in acceptance rates across early career candidates but particularly in Tech that is objectively difficult to hire for. Alberto partners closely with Organizational Development to ensure that learning and development is accessible to the early talent he hires; he owns several vendor relationships that facilitate this, and he took the initiative to implement this based on his ongoing engagement with Gen Z and hearing their feedback on what they prioritize which is certainly unlike the generations that preceded them. The success of the internship program can be measured by our 85% conversion rate for interns to return upon graduation into our Analyst program.”
