How We’ve Helped Clients Build Great Teams
Scaling Fixed Income Trading and Engineering Capability for a Technology-Driven
Broker-Dealer
We partnered with Millennium Advisors from the launch of their European technology function, collaborating closely with leadership to build out the team. Our mandate was to attract top-tier engineering and quantitative talent suited to a high-performance, fast-paced investment environment.
As the global firm expanded its US presence from Charlotte to Chicago, we continued to support their growth.
Our focused approach emphasised deep upfront discovery, cultural and delivery alignment, and advising on role design, seniority, and long-term team structure. OXBO operated as a true extension of the business rather than pursuing volume hiring. This delivered top talent tailored to their scaling needs.

Establishing a Premier Analytics Engineering Function for BlackRock
We partnered with BlackRock’s iShares Analytics team in London to scale a high-calibre, commercially astute engineering team. The objective was to build a stable, technically experienced team with deep domain expertise, prioritising long-term fit and quality over volume in a competitive talent market.
We collaborated directly with hiring leadership to define a precise headhunting model, moving away from volume-driven recruitment. Each candidate was rigorously evaluated against both technical benchmarks and business context, ensuring a high-signal, efficient process for senior stakeholders.

We collaborated closely with senior leadership to source engineers capable of building and scaling systems from first principles, drawing heavily from top-tier investment banks (especially eFX and equities). Many hires were prior candidates we represented, minimizing risk and accelerating delivery.
