Jobs at WorldQuant

What WorldQuant's application asks

Across the 2 application forms Otto has filled at WorldQuant: 23 distinct questions, 18 of them usually required. A single application works out at about 20 minutes once you have your details to hand. It runs on Greenhouse.

7 are WorldQuant’s own, not boxes every form has:

• how did you learn about us?
• if your school selection was "other" please write your school name here.
• what is your current title?
• who is your current employer?
• have you been enrolled in worldquant university in the past 12 months?
• have you ever been employed by worldquant?
• where are you currently located?

Read off the forms themselves, last checked 2026-09-22, because Otto fills them in and has to read them first. Roles differ, so the estimate is per application rather than for the list above: each question counts for its cost times how often this employer actually requires it. A written answer is 2½ minutes, a dropdown 12 seconds, a yes/no 5 seconds, attaching a file 45 seconds. The list leaves out name-and-email boxes and anything Greenhouse puts on every employer’s form.
