The Leverage Group is a highly specialized niche recruiting firm with a core focus in the Investment Banking/ IT Finance field.

Approximately 90 % of the placements that we make are through our referral network. We have our own in house technical questionnaire forms, updated yearly, which were created by the best and brightest I.T. technicians in their area of expertise. We also have ex-MIS Director on staff, to help evaluate each candidate's technical strength's and weaknesses.

Our recruiting strengths include:
-   Back, Middle and Front office development roles (C, C++, Java, J2EE, C# Developers and Architects).

Prior to a resume submission, it is mandatory that the applicant is put through a technical interview and met personally by a Senior Recruiter. Additionally, 3 references from past employers must also be checked. This information is then attached to the profile when a resume is e-mailed. If it is an entry level candidate, we will ask for their professors contact information.

Technology and financial products are evolving at a very fast pace. It gives us a great deal of satisfaction to know that we are indirectly responsible for assisting in the construction of highly scalable, robust, practically bullet proof systems that support the highest revenue grossing areas of the companies we do business with.
