What attributes do you look for when recruiting graduates?

When taking on fresh graduates the company looks for very good interpersonal skills and communication skills. A good understanding of the finance industry can also be an advantage. A business degree can be useful here if it includes financial and sales/marketing elements. However, the company will consider other subjects, and each applicant on their own merit.

What key advice would you give to Uk students/graduates who would like to work for your company?

Really build your knowledge of the financial markets and products so that it is clear from the outset that you understand their complexities.
