Summary
Rich Moss is a veteran technical recruiter who has spent over two decades placing elite engineers and researchers at the crossroads of quantitative finance, trading, and frontier AI. With a 93% close rate and 400+ placements — including 124 hires at Citadel and roles across Jump, BlackRock, Vercel, Notion, and a16z-/Sequoia-backed startups — he pairs deep market knowledge with thesis-driven search and rigorous market mapping. He builds conviction beyond resumes, coaching candidates on motivations and narratives while helping clients discover high-conviction hires who aren’t obvious on paper. Based in Alpharetta, GA, he blends boutique founder-level sourcing experience from Moss Search with enterprise-scale hiring at firms like Coupang and Riviera Partners. An uncommon detail: his recruiting roots trace back to a first placement for Bin Mu’s stat-arb desk in 1999, demonstrating a rare, long-term specialization in quant tech talent.
