About Market Data Staffing
Market Data Staffing is a specialized division of MDMS Recruiting, LLC, dedicated exclusively to connecting market data professionals with opportunities in the financial services industry. We understand that market data isn’t just another IT function—it’s a specialized field that requires deep industry knowledge, technical expertise, and an understanding of the unique challenges financial institutions face.
Our Focus
We work exclusively in the market data space because generic recruiters can’t properly assess the skills and experience required for these roles. Whether it’s understanding vendor contract negotiations, entitlements management, feed handler architecture, or the nuances of symbology mapping, our team speaks the language of market data professionals and the employers who need them.
What Sets Us Apart
Most staffing firms treat market data positions like any other technology role. We built our practice around the reality that a market data engineer requires different skills than a software engineer, and that vendor management experience varies significantly between buy-side and sell-side firms. This specialization means better matches, faster placements, and candidates who can contribute from day one.
Who We Serve
We work with market data professionals at every career stage—from support analysts and administrators to senior engineers and directors. Our employer clients range from hedge funds and asset managers to investment banks and proprietary trading firms. What they all have in common is the need for talent that understands the critical role market data plays in trading operations, risk management, and compliance.
Our Approach
For job seekers, we provide confidential, professional career guidance and connections to opportunities that match your expertise and goals. For employers, we deliver pre-screened candidates who understand your systems and requirements, saving you time and ensuring quality hires. Whether you need a direct hire placement or contract staffing support, we handle the process with industry expertise and attention to detail.
