4. Front Office
WRS Trading specialises in the resourcing of professionals who have a historical track
record for optimising returns on client investments. Understanding that the talent
pools across the industry in the front office are closely tied and you will have your own
methodologies for attracting talent, we aim to deliver a range of exclusive and more
passive professionals from Traders to Portfolio Managers to suit your required niche.
This ensures we are introducing fresh candidates to your business with the objective of
avoiding and duplicate applications from your own systems.
Our international network covers a range vertical markets and niche areas of focus,
whether this is a specific commodity specialist for the trading/merchant houses or front
office professionals trading precise strategies amongst the financial institutions. WRS can
introduce individuals and additonal close knit/complete strategy teams.

• Portfolio / Fund Managers

• Analysts
5. Middle / Back Office
WRSconsultantspartnerwiththeirclientsondelicate,challengingorspecifichiringneeds;
all are supported by a team of dedicated and experienced market consultants. We adopt
a highly transparent, effective and proven methodology throughout all of our searches
which includes both retained and contingency assignments. WRS predominantly opt for a
retained assignment approach across the Middle and Back office. We take this approach
to guarantee and ensure the highest level of quality for our clients’ needs; the competitive
nature of recruitment can on occasions be at detriment to a specialist search.
WRS understands the importance of efficient communication and synergy between all
internal disciplines on the floor. We have developed a trusted and exclusive network,
of local and domestic profiles, to ensure that requirements can be
met over a global scale, where ultimately, this instils confidence
that WRS assesses the overall company goals and takes into
account the way in which each support function works in
unison towards achieving the collective objectives.

• Marketing, Origination

• Legal and Compliance
• Logistics, Procurement & Supply Chain.
6. Managed Services
Particularly useful for back and middle office staff, WRS offer our clients fully bespoke,
unique and tailored managed services whereby all of your recruitment needs for a
specific discipline, skill or location will be outsourced to us. This can either manifest itself
in outsourcing or replacing your contract workforce, permanent recruitment process or
a combination of the two.
Contract Workforce Solutions: WRS provide a range of mobilisation services alongside
safety, compliance and risk management. When you assign WRS to provide your contract
workforce, you will have the options to bring WRS staff into your office to manage the
whole process, and will choose to operate their service under either your own or the WRS
brand. The benefits of this approach include cost savings, time-to-hire reductions and
shared risk, as well as the expertise and passion we can bring to your business operation.
Full or Partial Permanent Recruitment Process Outsourcing: Outsourcing your
permanent recruitment to WRS can save you both time and money; you will be safe in
the knowledge that your staffing needs are being fulfilled by a company with the global
capabilities to find the right people to fit your needs. Our global offices and partnerships
around the world enable us to partner with you in-country.
Fully Integrated RPO Model: A fully integrated model means that we will take care of
both your permanent and contract recruitment needs, allowing you to enjoy maximum
efficiency and cost savings in staffing. This is supported by our global mobility solutions
for optimum performance.
Talent Mapping: As clients expand their presence, whether this is in new market, locations
or even new technologies we are able to drive those plans from conception through to
completion. Our completely bespoke Talent Mapping solutions provide invaluable data
and insight into your target talent pool, including salary benchmarking, completitor
analysis, and perception information as well as a consultative approach to achieving
clarity and consistency in marketing and delivery of economies of scale.
7. Permanent Recruitment
Finding permanent staff in any industry can be very challenging and takes a huge amount
of skill and knowledge. Not only do your new recruits need to have the right qualifications,
vertical market experience and skills, but they must also have the right mindset for the
job they are to undertake, and the company culture they will be joining.
