Job Description

CTC is a cutting-edge proprietary trading firm with a long-term vision and a clear focus on helping the world price and manage risk. Our fun and trusting culture inspires us to solve the industry’s most challenging problems and take calculated risks in a collaborative environment.

We strive to be the most innovative firm in the industry today, tomorrow, and long into the future while upholding ethical excellence. We believe that CTC makes a positive impact on the markets, the lives of our employees, and all the communities to which we belong. Started in 1995 by a team of forward-thinking Traders, we are proud to call ourselves an industry leader that keeps making markets and each other better.

THE ROLE 

We're seeking a Campus Recruiter to join our Talent Acquisition team in Chicago. In this role, you'll be a critical on-the-ground presence for CTC's campus program — serving as the primary point of contact for interns, new hires, and internal stakeholders in our Chicago office.  

You'll own the day-to-day execution of our campus recruiting efforts, from sourcing top talent and coordinating events to creating and driving marketing initiatives that elevate CTC's brand. You'll work within a small, collaborative team alongside our Director of Recruiting and Campus Program Manager, and partner closely with our Human Capital Management team and business leaders across the firm.  

We're looking for someone who is passionate about campus recruiting and marketing, thrives on the details, and is energized by being the connective thread between students, hiring managers, and our broader team. If you love the rhythm of campus recruiting and want to make a meaningful impact at a firm that values teamwork, we'd love to hear from you.  

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Events & Program Coordination  

  • Plan, coordinate, and execute all campus and in-office recruiting events, student organization partnerships and company Super Days.  
  • Serve as the point person in Chicago for intern and new hire onboarding and programming.  
  • Manage interview scheduling and logistics during peak recruiting season (July–November).  

Sourcing & Candidate Engagement  

  • Develop and execute candidate sourcing strategies to identify and engage top talent year-round using Handshake Premium and LinkedIn Recruiter.  
  • Build and maintain candidate pipelines across target universities and student organizations.  

Marketing & Employer Branding  

  • Contribute to and drive marketing efforts built to strengthen CTC's employer brand, including social media content, digital campaigns, and recruiting collateral. 
  • Beyond the campus recruiting team, contribute to the firmwide marketing and rebranding efforts that will begin later this year. 

Relationship Management  

  • Be a great partner to third-party vendors and university career center staff.  
  • Collaborate with hiring managers and business partners to understand team needs and deliver a best-in-class candidate experience.  

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR 

  • 2+ years of experience owning full-cycle campus recruiting, including marketing and sourcing through platforms like LinkedIn Recruiter and Handshake Premium 
  • A data-driven mindset with the ability to track recruiting metrics using Excel 
  • Highly organized with exceptional attention to detail, strong communication skills, and the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously 
  • Experience in marketing, social media, or content creation in a professional role, internship, or personal project. You should have a genuine passion for using these skills to strengthen the employer brand within campus recruiting and firmwide rebranding efforts. 
  • Proficiency with at least one applicant tracking system 
  • Excited to be the in-office point of contact for CTC's campus program — a go-to resource for interns, new hires, and stakeholders in Chicago 
  • A team-first mentality with a dedication to continuous improvement, problem-solving, and collaboration across teams 
  • Bachelor's degree (all majors and concentrations welcome)
