The industry standard for evaluating quantitative talent

Hire quants on evidence, not CVs.

Proctored online assessments in probability, mental arithmetic, trading simulations, cognitive games and coding. Sent from your ATS, back in your pipeline the moment a candidate finishes.

See how it works

01 / How it works

Invite, sit, review

One simple loop, from the candidate profile in your ATS to a scored, proctored result back in it.

01

Invite from your ATS

One click from the Greenhouse profile or our dashboard, and the candidate gets a branded email with a deadline.

02

Candidates sit a proctored test

Timed sections in your branding, camera and audio recorded, monitored throughout.

03

Results land where you hire

Score, pass mark and proctoring flags return to Greenhouse and your dashboard the moment the candidate finishes.

02 / What you can test

The skills a desk runs on,
measured before the first interview

Numerical fluency, probability intuition, market sense, estimation and code, each as a timed section you can put in any assessment.

  • Probability and statistics

    HHTHH

    P(at least 4 heads in 5) = 6/32 = 3/16

  • Mental arithmetic

03 / Fully customisable

Built for the roles you are hiring for

Traders, researchers and developers do different work, so they should be screened on different things. Pick the sections that matter for the role, and set each time limit and pass mark. Run it as the first round, before anyone spends an hour in an interview.

04 / Built to be trusted

A score you can act on

An online test is only worth what it rules out. Every attempt is recorded, timed and monitored from the first question to the last.

Video and audio proctoring
Every timed section is recorded through the browser, with the candidate's consent, and kept with the attempt.
Advanced monitoring
Every attempt is monitored from the first question to the last, and anything unusual is flagged for you.
Questions that cannot be looked up
Generated or sampled per attempt, so no two candidates get the same questions and nothing is worth leaking.
Your brand, your questions
Your logo and colours on every page and email. Mix our question pools with your own sets and set your own pass mark.

Tens of thousands of candidates have trained on Tradermath, so your scores sit on the population you are hiring from, not on a guess.

05 / Why a specialist

Built for quant finance, not adapted to it.

A general screening platform will run a probability or mental arithmetic test if you write one. We bring the questions, the trading simulations and the cognitive games, and the candidate population to score against.

What is screenedGeneral screening platformsTradermath
General software engineering problems in Python and C++
Probability, statistics and mental arithmeticBring your own questions
Coding problems from the desk: order books, market data, low-latency C++
Trading simulations and cognitive games
Assessments composed for quant trader, researcher and developer roles
