Recruiting top talent

Nearly everyone – from our most senior leaders to our junior analysts – is actively involved in recruiting as we seek to recruit
people who share our core values.

Academic achievement is important, but is only one indication of a person’s potential. At Goldman Sachs, we recognise that a diverse workforce encourages increased creativity and innovation. Diversity is crucial to improved performance and continued business success. To that end,
we are committed to an environment that values diversity and promotes inclusion.

What we look for

Academic discipline is less important than the personal qualities an individual brings with them, however a strong interest in and appreciation of finance is important. Whatever your background, it is intellect, personality and zest for life that the firm values the most.

Goldman Sachs’ ability to meet challenges and ensure the firm’s success in the future depends on attracting and retaining the highest quality people and the firm makes an unusual effort to identify the best person for every job. We evaluate candidates on six core measures – achievement, leadership, commercial focus, analytical thinking, teamwork and the ability to make an impact.
